### Please describe the problem.
I tried to create an annex (``git annex init foo``) inside a ``encfs`` mount, and git-annex says that it's crippled, and disables core.symlinks and goes into direct mode
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
apt-get install encfs
encfs -o kernel_cache empty_dir other_empty_dir
cd other_empty_dir
git init
git annex init foo
### Expected results
init foo ok
(Recording state in git...)
### Actual results
init foo
Detected a crippled filesystem.
Disabling core.symlinks.
Enabling direct mode.
ok
(Recording state in git...)
### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
4.20130601 on debian unstable
### P.S.
This was particularly annoying when I tried this on a bare repository. I'm pretty sure bare repositories don't need symlinks, and should definitely not be in direct mode. Hopefully you can fix it before I have time to file another bug report :)
Thank you!
