annex.gitaddtoannex configuration

Browse source 
Added annex.gitaddtoannex configuration. Setting it to false prevents
git add from usually adding files to the annex.
(Unless the file was annexed before, or a renamed annexed file is detected.)

Currently left at true; some users are encouraging it be set to false.

Some filesystems don't have stable inodes etc, but all that is already
handled by the InodeCache machinery, so I think this could work pretty
well. --[[Joey]]

@ -3,3 +3,5 @@ Could there be separate `annex.git-add.largefiles` and `annex.git-annex-add.larg
Reason: to prevent `git add` from inadvertently adding annexed files in unlocked form, I set `* annex.largefiles=nothing` at repo root; but then, `git annex add` won't annex anything either, unless specifically asked. I want to use `git add` to add files to git only (since it can't add them to git-annex in locked form), and to use `git annex add` to add files to either git or annex based on `annex.git-annex-add.largefiles` setting.

I suspect that anyone who would have wanted this will instead be happy
with setting the new annex.gitaddtoannex to false.
If someone does have a good reason to want git add and git annex add to
have different opinions about what constitutes a large file, please reopen
the todo with a justification.
