+### Please describe the problem.
+
+If you `git annex edit FILE`, an already-committed file, then do `git annex sync`, FILE will be added to .git/objects, but can be cleaned up with `git prune`. An annoyance, but not a huge problem.
+
+If, on the other hand, you do git annex add, then edit, then sync, it will actually be committed to the git repository. Fixing that is a lot less trivial than `git prune`.
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
