Description-en: Store and restore metadata from a filesystem
metastore is a tool to store the metadata of files/directories/links in
a file tree to a separate file and to later compare and apply the
stored metadata to said file tree.
.
The tool was written as a supplement to git which does not store all
metadata, making it unsuitable for e.g. storing /etc in a repo.
.
metastore can also be helpful in a backup script if you want to create
a tarball of a file tree and make sure that "everything" (e.g. xattrs,
mtime, owner, group) is stored along with the files.
