Comment on The first official release of Metastore: metadata tool for file system trees

Comments

A bit like mtree. I have vague plans to integrate something like this to git and/or augeas

I think that metastore will become much more valuable tool, when some planned stuff will be implemented.

Drafts described there are not finalized and my view on some matters changed a bit. I'll try to update descriptions one day. metastore needs also some modularization to provide better OS-dependent stuff like xattrs.

All in all metastore will need more or less substantial reworking, to the point where rewriting it and providing converter from binary format may be a simpler solution and leading to cleaner (and thus more maintainable) code.
