The problem is, when I have an entry in .gitignore like this: /images Then git will ignore that whole directory (and all of its subfolders etc.). Git will just ignore everything in the tree starting with that pathname. But when I use the same pattern ('/images') in .gitattributes I would expect (due to the documentation) that git-lfs will be called for all files+subfolders+subfolderfiles and even the folder itself (this is what I understand from 'The rules how the pattern matches paths are the same as in .gitignore files'). This does not seem to be the case! Sorry again for the confusion.
