git annex add has problems if items start with dashes, example:

-wut-a-directory-name-/file1

leads to

[[!format bash """ add -wut-a-directory-name-/file1 (checksum...) sha1sum: invalid option -- 'u' „sha1sum --help“ gibt weitere Informationen.

git-annex: : hGetLine: end of file """]]

This is fixed in git, at least I think I've found all cases where filenames are passed to programs and escaped them. --Joey done
