Please describe the problem.
In a git annex assistant managed repo, Calibre's delete book action causes the file to be committed to git instead of annexed.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
I have put my entire calibre library into a git annex. I use the assistant in adjusted mode so that all files can be unlocked and calibre is free to do what it wants with the filesystem. I use btrfs to save storage space (but I don't think that part matters).
If I have a book in the Calibre library and then I delete it, Calibre uses some method to move the files to a directory called .caltrash (so that the book can be recovered later). When it does that, git annex does a git add instead of a git annex add. This makes me sad.
I have no .gitignore file.
What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?

I stopped the assistant, checked out master,
git reset HEAD^, and ran git annex add .caltrash and it told me this:In this case it is just a small .opf file, but in a previous case, it added an entire pdf. Either way, I want all the files in git annex.
So I double checked that git annex.largefiles wasn't set:
Then I set git annex.largefiles to anything
But it still wants to add the opf to the git repository!
annex.dotfilesconfiguration.Thanks! That does seem to have been it.
Do you know if there's a way to only treat some dotfiles as annexed? Like I want .caltrash and .calnotes to be annexed, but maybe not if I create .gitattributes.
When
annex.dotfilesis set to true, git-annex should treat dotfiles just like other files, so it should apply .gitattributes to them. With that in mind, I'd expect something like this to work:I haven't tested it though.
