+The assistant adds files unlocked, even when git-annex is otherwise
+configured to add them locked.
+
+There are good reasons for that different behavior to be the default,
+but it would be worth having a config to override that.
+
+Eg, when annex.assistant.honor.addunlocked is set, honor the
+annex.addunlocked configuration, which defaults to adding files locked.
+Or perhaps a better name would be annex.assistant.allowaddlocked.
