### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
git annex makes me so happy. As I had mentioned in a previous post some years ago, it solves problems that I have not anticipated and teaches me new concepts that I then apply across my work. Thank you so much Joey! :bow:

What is an extension and what is not is ambiguous
to a computer. Eg, the filename "mr.toadswildride"
does not have an extension.
So git-annex has a heuristic, that an extension has
a maximum length of 4. Which works for the vast
majority of extensions in use. You can override
that to some other value:
git config annex.maxextensionlength 7
