It will then proceed to add the file the same as if it were any other
file containing possibly annexable content. Usually the file is one that
was annexed before, so the new, probably corrupt content will also be added
to the annex. If the file was not annexed before, the content will be added
to git.

It's not possible for the smudge filter to throw an error here, because
git then just adds the file to git anyway.
