### Please describe the problem.
For an example I wanted to add different metadata to some test files,
but the outcome is that the last metadata gets applied to all three files. see transcript below.
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a git annex repository
2. add a few files
3. add some metadata to the files, same keys, differnt values
4. watch the metadata, only the last added one is shown for all files
