### Please describe the problem.
When creating a new git-annex repository (or upgrading, or doing fsck) inside a CryFS container (FUSE-based encrypted local filesystem, similiar to EncFS), git-annex goes into direct(or adjusted, in v6) mode despite CryFS working just fine with symlinks.
Indeed, a created-outside-cryfs git-annex repository works as expected when copied inside
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install cryfs (https://www.cryfs.org/, packaged for ubuntu,debian, or build from source)
2. Create a CryFS container: $ cryfs container container-data
3. Create a git annex repository inside the container:
$ cd container
$ git init .
$ git annex init --version 6
#### Cloning from v6 repository, you get
git annex init --version 6
init
Detected a filesystem without fifo support.
Disabling ssh connection caching.
Detected a crippled filesystem.
Disabling core.symlinks.
(merging origin/git-annex into git-annex...)
(recording state in git...)
(scanning for unlocked files...)
Entering an adjusted branch where files are unlocked as this filesystem does not support locked files.
Switched to branch 'adjusted/master(unlocked)'
ok
(recording state in git...)
#### Cloning from v5 repository and upgrading, you get
git annex upgrade
upgrade .
Detected a filesystem without fifo support.
Disabling ssh connection caching.
Detected a crippled filesystem.
Disabling core.symlinks.
(merging origin/git-annex into git-annex...)
(recording state in git...)
Enabling direct mode.

### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
git-annex-6.20170519-1.fc26.x86_64
### 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)
I love git-annex.
