+### Please describe the problem.
+
+When `annex.autocommit` is set to `false`, the assistant continues to commit to the repository, at least in indirect mode (direct mode not tested). I'd like it to not even `git annex add`, but it should at least not `git commit`.
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+I started the assistant with `git annex assistant`. Then I also opened the webapp with `git annex website`.
+
+Next, I ran `git config --bool --local --replace-all annex.autocommit false`. Supposedly that'll stop the assistant from committing things.
+
+Then I did a `echo "hello world" > test`.
+
+The webapp showed the file syncing, and `ls -l test` confirmed it'd been added the annex. `git status` confirmed it'd been committed as well.
+
+I did a `git rm test`, and then a `git status`... and it turns out the annex committed that as well.
+
+NOTE: My repository is in indirect mode.
+
+I tried `--global` instead of `--local` for the config, and that didn't make a difference.
+
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+
+5.20141125 on Debian testing, from the package. (And, thank you Joey, for all your work on Debian. You'll be missed.)
