I have gotten as far as running `git init` and `git annex init` on my server. There’s a bunch of stuff there and I figure I’ll just add the things that I care about as I go.
I read the page on the [webapp](https://git-annex.branchable.com/git-annex-webapp/) and it just says that it “allows easy setup of a git-annex repository, and control of the git-annex assistant”. I started the webapp on my server and I was alarmed to see a message in the webapp that it was adding things to git annex. Over on the page for the [git annex assistant](https://git-annex.branchable.com/git-annex-assistant/) it says “By default, all new files in the directory will be added to the repository” which is definitely not what I expected. I’m a new user trying to learn how to use git annex and this was an unpleasant surprise. Can we amend the docs for the webapp to warn about this behavior?
