Ok, sorry, didn't read your answer thoroughly enough the first time.
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.
