### Please describe the problem. annex.largefiles saved in .gitattributes does not work when running 'git annex add' from a subdirectory I set annex.largefiles to include any files larger than 50k or any files that are executable. This works if I'm adding a files from top level directory. But if I'm adding files from a sub-directory it does not work. ### What steps will reproduce the problem? see log below ### What version of git-annex are you using?
