I am using the following pre-commit-config.yaml:

repos:
  - repo: https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit-hooks
    rev: v6.0.0
    hooks:
      - id: check-added-large-files

This correctly prevents adding files larger than 500 KB.

With the following .gitattributes:

large_files/large_file.db filter=lfs diff=lfs merge=lfs -text

I am able to commit large_file.db successfully.

Issue:

If i delete .gitattribute and run :

git lfs track ./large_files/

This generates a new .gitattributes:

large_files/ filter=lfs diff=lfs merge=lfs -text

In this case, pre-commit prevents committing files inside large_files/, even though they are tracked by Git LFS.

Output of git lfs status --porcelain

A  .gitattributes
A  .pre-commit-config.yaml
A  large_files/large_file.db
A  large_files/large_file2.db

Environment
Git version: git version 2.51.2.windows.1
