Please describe the problem.

Running git add or git annex add does not add dotfiles to the annex. However, the git annex assistant appears to add dotfiles to the annex.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Initialize a new repository (git init and git annex init).

2. Create a dotfile: echo "foo" > .somedotfile

3. Run git annex assistant

The file will then be added to the annex.

What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?

Operating system: Arch Linux x86_64

git-annex version: 10.20230329
