But, one of the ways views can be used is to use file operations to adjust the metadata that is being viewed. So, when you delete a file from a view, and git commit, git-annex will remove the metadata that had made the file be in the view. And, if you copy or move a file in a view to a different subdirectory, and add and git commit the change, the metadata will be updated to update the metadata to reflect the files new location. As such, I see this as a wishlist todo item at best, and will move it from the bugs list to the todo list. """]]
