Feature request: working in any directory

[priyadarshan]

git-store-meta is quite useful per se, even not depending from the git use-case.

Would it be possible to add the feature to make it work inside any directory, independent from being under git version control?

That would help create and maintain manifestos, or other specialised lists, and apply their content in case of erroneous changes like: wrong tar operations, rsynch with wrong switches, etc.

Thank you again for git-store-meta.

git-store-meta handles only the files revisioned by git. It probably won't work well without git.

One could see the use-case of dealing with any directory as a sub-case of the general scope of git-store-meta, as a generic directory would be like a git-controleld directory, minus the version-controlled connection.

It would benefit users like us (ie, me with collegues) that need to rely on other tools to do the exact same functionality for generic directories.
It would be nice to have only one tool to deal with storing meta-data, whetever git-controlled or not.

But I can see one would want to just concentrate on the git-controlled scope.

Please, feel free to close this any time. Thank you again for taking time to consider this.
