So I'm about 5 minutes into using git-annex and I've already messed it up :-p.
My intent is to get a working `.gitattributes` file that automatically uses annex for `git add` on image files such as RW2 (Panasonic RAW files) and regular git for `git add` on non-image files (especially in this case XMP sidecar files). So I set that up seemingly successfully. I did `git add P1000252.RW2` and it seemed to create a symlink in the annex folder. Then I figured I'd try using it a bit like I do with normal git, unstaging it before committing (note that I've made zero commits so far in this repo). That looked like it worked, at least in terms of `git status` and `git annex status`. However now I'm at a point where the file is untracked in git and a question mark in `git annex status` (presumably untracked as well), yet the file is still a symlink to the annex folder. I ran `git annex unannex` on the file and still it's a symlink.
What I expected was that it would just go back to a regular file in its previous location instead of a symlink. Did I do something wrong? How do I "recover" from this, just manually move the file back in place and change the mode on it? Luckily this repo was just a test with some junk files so recovery of this particular file isn't critical, I just don't want to end up messing up my huge photo library going forward.
Further breaking my brain right now is that on `git init` it used branch `main` and continued showing me as being on branch `main` throughout all this. But `git branch` only showed the branch `git-annex`. So I tried checking out this `git-annex` branch, and it says it switched to the branch. Then I tried checking out `main` again but I get `pathspec 'main' did not match any file(s) known to git`.

Side note, and maybe this is something you hear a lot and hate hearing, but having the code, docs, and issues on a site like GitLab or GitHub would be a big improvement IMO.
