+When `annex.dotfiles` is set to true, git-annex should treat dotfiles just like other files, so it should apply .gitattributes to them. With that in mind, I'd expect something like this to work:
+
+```
+.* annex.largefiles=nothing
+.caltrash annex.largefiles=anything
+.calnotes annex.largefiles=anything
+```
+
+I haven't tested it though.
