This is a good idea, but unfortunately the interface that `git add` uses to
run git-annex doesn't provide a way for git-annex to request that the file
not be added. Even if git-annex exits with an error, git will assume the
best thing to do is to add the file itself. As documented in the gitattributes(5)
man page:
A missing filter driver definition in the config, or a filter driver that
exits with a non-zero status, is not an error but makes the filter a
no-op passthru.
So this would I think need an extension to git..
However, there is a fairly easy way to convert an annexed file to be stored in git
if your annex.largefiles configuration didn't do the right thing:
touch thefile
git -c annex.largefiles=nothing add thefile
