Currently, when assigning metadata to a datafile, git annex (v5.20150710-g8fd705) will produce no error or warning message if the file entered does not exist. This can be a tad confusing to users who might expect to see some output if they typed their path wrong. A successful `git annex metadata <filename> -s tags=best` will produce output acknowledging the change, but a failure produces no output at all. A quick check if the file exists, and a `File does not exist` error message if not, would be easy implement and helpful to new users. + +### What steps will reproduce the problem? + +git annex metadata <filename> -s tags+=atlas + +Where <filename> does not exist. + +### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system? + +v5.20150710-g8fd705 + +### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders) + +We use git-annex for our open-source !FreeSurfer software and find very helpful indeed.
