Annexview is an Emacs Dired interface for modifying git-annex metadata
[^1] and for creating metadata-driven views [^2].  See the package
commentary more details.

Status: hibernating
-------------------

The core functionality I had in mind is in place, but there are a lot
of little bits left to do.  The main problem is that I don't actually
use git-annex views!  I think metadata-driven views sound great and
exciting.  But that hasn't been enough to get me to actually use them.
