Bug#959506: git-annex: `git annex add` sometimes treats non-dotfiles in dotdirs as dotfiles

[Marco Ricci]

Hello Joey.

While I appreciate the effort in suggesting to me a way to deal with my
use case, this doesn't help much in tackling this bug report. Which is
about how git-annex wrongly (or perhaps only unobviously) treats certain
files… namely, files in dotdirs, if given by relative pathname, and even
if they don't themselves begin with a dot.

Thus, my question is if there is anything else you'd like me to add to
the bug report to help clarify the issue, or if you can instead already
give me a (if only provisional) resolution such as "confirmed",
"wontfix", etc. Thanks.

Cheers,
Marco
