# NAME

git-annex vadd - add subdirs to current view

# SYNOPSIS

git annex vadd `[field=glob ...] [field=value ...] [tag ...]`

# DESCRIPTION

Changes the current view, adding an additional level of directories
to categorize the files.

For example, when the view is by author/tag, `vadd year=*` will
change it to year/author/tag.

So will `vadd year=2014 year=2013`, but limiting the years in view
to only those two.

split out common options to its own page and mention it on each subcommand page Sometimes users would get confused because an option they were looking for was not mentioned on a subcommand's man page, and they had not noticed that the main git-annex man page had a list of common options. This change lets each subcommand mention the common options, similarly to how the matching options are handled.

expand manpages cross-references significantly i found that most man pages only had references to the main git-annex manpage, which i stillfind pretty huge and hard to navigate through. i tried to sift through all the man pages and add cross-references between relevant pages. my general rule of thumb is that links should be both ways unless one of the pages is a more general page that would become ridiculously huge if all backlinks would be added (git-annex-preferred-content comes to mind). i have also make the links one per line as this is how it was done in the metadata pages so far. i did everything but the plumbing, utility and test commands, although some of those are linked from the other commands so cross-links were added there as well. 2015-05-29 16:12:55 +00:00			`[[git-annex-metadata]](1)`
