+### Please describe the problem.
+annex.largefiles saved in .gitattributes does not work when running 'git annex add' from a subdirectory
+
+I set annex.largefiles to include any files larger than 50k or any files that are executable. This works if I'm adding a files from top level directory. But if I'm adding files from a sub-directory it does not work.
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+see log below

+ubuntu 15.10
