nishimoto_2011_val_1min.mat git-annex?

[yarikoptic]

If you would like I could add that file under git annex control so anyone cloning this repo could just git annex get it if they have git annex installed

No pressure whatever

FWIW this is how it could be done:

(git)hopa:~/proj/misc/motion_energy_matlab[master]
$> git annex init  # complaint below is "safe" -- just that annex notes that it cannot use github for storing the data
init  curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found

  Remote origin not usable by git-annex; setting annex-ignore
ok
(recording state in git...)
$> cd demo

$> git annex addurl --file=nishimoto_2011_val_1min.mat https://dl.dropbox.com/s/svo55behbw3m1zy/nishimoto_2011_val_1min.mat?dl=0   
addurl nishimoto_2011_val_1min.mat (downloading https://dl.dropbox.com/s/svo55behbw3m1zy/nishimoto_2011_val_1min.mat?dl=0 ...)
