Please describe the problem.

encfs I think in general is supported but there are some minor glitches (submitting one about ssh separately) which seems complicate use of git-annex under it.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Running git annex test causes a few tests to FAIL. After git-annex gets to operate "nominally" under encfs, we better add testing under encfs to datalad/git-annex daily tests .

Sample fail:

      Use -p '/fix/' to rerun this test only. 

and overall it is seems v10 locked specific tests

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)
