I'm wanting to do essentially replacing Sparkleshare or dvcs-autosync with the assistant, that is prevent git-annex from annexing certain files (by extension), and rather manage them in git only.
This seems to work fine, and the assistant auto-adds them to git, and commits when I make changes, when in indirect mode.
However, in a direct mode repository, then the files are automatically annexed, and even if I create them in an indirect repo, and then change it, they are annexed.
Is this expected behaviour? Does the annex.largefiles setting only make sense in indirect mode?

I don't seem to be seeing the problem you describe in direct mode:
At that point, the bigfile was annexed, and the hello.c file was checked into git as a regular file.
Are you sure you have annex.largefiles correctly configured to exclude the files you don't want to be annexed?
This seems to have stopped happening, after I installed a newer version (from git) of git-annex.
I might try and recreate it later, but for now it seems to work as expected.
Thanks for your help.
