+@lh two possibilities are:
+
+1. When `git add` is run, git-annex does some additional checks to detect
+   things like a file that was checked into git before but has been
+   renamed, and will avoid annexing such a file even when annex.largefiles
+   says to.
+2. Perhaps `git add` is finding some other git-annex
+   version that behaves differently. Seems unlikely, but possible.
