Hi all, every few months, a thread seems to pop up regarding metadata storage, be it owner, mtime, xattr or what have you. As of today there is (ttbomk) still no sane way to carry & restore metadata across different repositories. metastore[1] is closest to a working solution but its storage format is binary and merge-unfriendly and it does not store mtime which is a deal-breaker, for me. I tried extend & fix metastore, but failed. Others looked at it, deemed it possible and lost interest and/or their development box. I know from Joey Hess [2] that the GitTogether 2011 saw some discussion about metadata, but I was unable to find any follow-up to this issue. To make a long story short: Does anyone have a working solution, today? If not, is anyone working on one? If not, is anyone interested in working on one? And is there any follow-up to the GitTogether discussion? The feature set of any solution should probably include save, display, diff, and apply on a per-metadata and per-file basis.
