This looks interesting, though I guess getfacl/setfacl and getfattr/setfattr can pretty much do the same job, especially if you can call them from shell scripts/hooks (except for mtime). Or did I misunderstand something? The problem with metdata getting corrupted, which Nicolas reported, may well have to do with the use of a single file. It may be worth to consider using a shadow hierarchy of files, each containing the metadata, e.g. for a project with foo, and bar/foo and bar/baz files, you might have .metastore/foo .metastore/bar/.<uniqueid>.dir .metastore/bar/foo .metastore/bar/baz and each file could just be an rfc822-style file: Owner: root Group: root Mode: 4754 Mtime: 1234567890 Fattr-<key1>: <value1> Fattr-<key2>: <value2> This would be my approach, which should probably be a little better at preventing corruption. Anyway, this *really* should go into git itself! -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; net@madduck "i like wagner's music better than anybody's. it is so loud that one can talk the whole time without other people hearing what one says." -- oscar wilde spamtraps: madduck.bogus@xxxxxxxxxxx
