Then I might return to it to re-read it. There might be references to this document from my work, so I'd like them to work as links (perhaps pointing at the local file, but also at the source URL for the case when my document is read by someone else not on my system). -I need to keep track of the source URLs for the documents I have saved which I read and use. +Hair loss is the struggle that you fight for at least once in your lifetime and to make sure that you do not lose it,wigs for white women are here at your service.

Sorry for the radio silence. + +> I think it's quite likely that most people consider files in dotdirs to be dotfiles, most of the time.

Given the points above, which I agree with (1) or accept (2 and 3), I'm perfectly fine with documenting the current behavior as correct and leaving it at that. My confusion stems from the fact that when I see `.foo/bar`, I say “no dotfile, because the file is actually named ‘bar’”, and git-annex says “dotfile, because the pathname expression begins with a dot” (or something like that) instead. Stating the exact rules git-annex uses to classify dotfiles as such, ideally alongside the documentation for `annex.dotfiles` and `annex.largefiles`, would avoid this confusion. +"""]]
