 ### 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)
 
 git annex makes me so happy. As I had mentioned in a previous post some years ago, it solves problems that I have not anticipated and teaches me new concepts that I then apply across my work. Thank you so much Joey! :bow:

+What is an extension and what is not is ambiguous
+to a computer. Eg, the filename "mr.toadswildride"
+does not have an extension.
+
+So git-annex has a heuristic, that an extension has
+a maximum length of 4. Which works for the vast
+majority of extensions in use. You can override
+that to some other value:
+
+       git config annex.maxextensionlength 7
