+Thanks for the reply, Ilya. Sorry, I think my mention of `.datalad/`
+along with an example that used a top-level dotfile was unnecessarily
+confusing. It's not an issue of sending some files dotfiles to annex
+and some to git. It's just wanting to avoid setting `annex.dotfiles`
+in `.git/config` (or `git-annex:config.log`) of the repos that DataLad
+touches.
