There are a lot of files here though, so it's difficult to to work out which need metadata and which don't. + +Would it be possible to have a `git annex metadata -s author='*'` also have all files in the top level if they don't have an author set at all, or something? Basically, I'm looking for a way to get a view where files don't have `author` set at all, so I can fix that.
