## operations while on filtered branch
* If files are removed and git commit called, git-annex should remove the
relevant metadata from the files.
TODO: It's not clear that
removing a file should nuke all the metadata used to filter it into the
branch
Currently, only metadata used for visible subdirs is added and removed
this way.
Also, this is not usable in direct mode because deleting the
file.. actually deletes it.

(Currently, only metadata used for visible subdirs is added and removed
this way.)
(Also, this is not usable in direct mode because deleting the
file.. actually deletes it...)
* If a file is moved into a new subdirectory while in a view branch,
a tag is added with the subdir name. This allows on the fly tagging.
**done**
* `git annex sync` should avoid pushing out the view branch, but
it should check if there are changes to the metadata pulled in, and update
the branch to reflect them.
* TODO: If `git annex add` adds a file, it gets all the metadata of the filter
branch it's added to. If it's in a relevent directory (like fosdem-2014),
it gets that metadata automatically recorded as well.
## automatically added metadata
TODO git annex add should automatically attach the current mtime of a file
when adding it.
When annex.genmetadata is set, git annex add automatically attaches
some metadata to a file. Currently year and month fields, from its mtime.
Could also automatically attach permissions.
TODO: Could also automatically attach permissions.
TODO A git hook could be run by git annex add to gather more metadata.
For example, by examining MP3 metadata.
Also auto add metadata when adding files to view branches. See below.
For example, by examining MP3 metadata. Alternatively, this could be a
regular post-commit hook, that examines the files committed, and runs git
annex metadata to add metadata. No extra git-annex support is needed
to do that!
