When constructing views, metadata is available about the location of the file in the view's reference branch. Allows incorporating parts of the directory hierarchy in a view. For example `git annex view tag=* podcasts/=*` makes a view in the form tag/showname. Performance impact: I benchmarked git annex view tag=* in the conference proceedings repo to take 6.459s before this change, and 6.544s after. FWIW, I considered making the syntax for this be podcasts/*, which might be easier for the user to learn. However, I think it's not as good: * The user has to then juggle two different syntaxes, and podcasts/* will be expanded by the shell so they also need to quote it, while podcasts/=* is unlikely to be expanded by the shell. * It would allow for things like podcasts/*/* and *.mp3 which do not map well into views.
