 Is it possible to story ordinary files in the git repository, or is this going to confuse git-annex? In other words, can I safely run
 
-  git add .gitattributes
-  git commit -m 'remember attributes' .gitattributes
+    git add .gitattributes
+    git commit -m 'remember attributes' .gitattributes
 
 ..., or do I have to use `git-annex add` all time?
