I want to store a simple mapping in git-annex on the git-annex branch, from string keys to values. I figured I can just do
|
|
git annex metadata --key=WORM-s0-m0--mykey -s myfield+=myvalue
|
|
and after git annex sync these mappings will propagate to copies of the repo. But the keys won't point to any file in any remote.
|
|
Will that break anything in git-annex? Will they get garbage-collected automatically in some circumstances?
