Though, it was definitely putting a good amount of stress on me. I was starting to think that I have to re-create this particular \"meta\" repository, and at that moment I didn't have enough time/energy to do it. And even if re-creating it wouldn't be as difficult as I was imagining it back than, I decided to fix it, because if it would have happen in a non-meta repository, and I would having some non-synced changes, it could be very unpleasant. And I could imaging that it might happen to anyone. + +Also, as a side note, I was thinking about creating a FUSE FS which could specifically handle such cases for metadata, e.g. by introducing a \"virtual folder\" in the root, e.g. `long-paths` (don't like the naming, probably it needs more thinking). Such FUSE FS could potentially work along with the git-annex views, preserve the existing folder structure, but only showing files with specific tags/metadata. + +"""]]
