It is currently possible using the wanted expression, but it is not very flexible, or it becomes unmaintainable. + +I tried with two repositories a and b, with the following wanted expressions : + +* for a: `not metadata=unwanted=<uuid-of-a>` +* for b: `not metadata=unwanted=<uuid-of-b>` + +I think those expressions should be included in standard wanted expressions. + +Also, to improbe the feature, it should be possible to set (or remove) metadata in directories, and those should automatically affect their content. + +And we could imagine a `git annex unwant` command that would add the unwanted metadata to a file, copy it to other repositories, and attempt to drop it. |
