+### Please describe the problem.
+
+Accidentally leaving of the file name when invoking git annex metadata means that 
+the changes are applied to all files. This is almost never what I want, and generally leads to either manual work or trying to undo the commit on the git-annex branch.
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+% git annex metadata -s field=value
+
+congrats, your old values of field are (kinda) gone.
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+
+5.20141125, debian
+
+### Please provide any additional information below.
+

+# If you can, paste a complete transcript of the problem occurring here.
+# If the problem is with the git-annex assistant, paste in .git/annex/daemon.log
+
+
+# End of transcript or log.
