+It's a change in default behavior, but the old default was restored in the more recent versions. (Detailed discussion [[here|forum/lets_discuss_git_add_behavior]]). Can you upgrade to the most recent version? [[install/conda]] lets you install one without being root. You might also want to set `annex.gitaddtoannex` to `false`.
