Currently looking at the metadata and views.
One of the things I would like to do is have a view that shows files by metadata metadata.. for example, "when the file last had tags changed".
Something along the lines of
$ git annex view metadata-tag-mtime=YYYYMMDD
view (searching...)
Switched to branch 'views/metadata/tag/mtime/YYYYMMDD'
ok
$ ls
20130816
20130921
20131015
This would allow me to review files that haven't had any tag changes applied for a while and thus, may need the tags updating.
I've done this in every tagging system I've used by (ab)using mtime, but that requires an additional step (of touching the file).
