<p>This is a TODO:</p>
<p>http://git-annex.branchable.com/design/metadata/</p>
<pre><code>unmatched files in filtered branches
TODO Files not matching the view should be able to be included in the filtered branch, in a special location, an "other" directory.
</code></pre>
<p>In the meantime, I do this before switching to the view:</p>
<pre><code>git annex metadata -s fieldIwant?=untagged
</code></pre>
<p>This shows the files without any "fieldIwant" in the directory "untagged". Afterwards, I could (but don't need to in my workflow, it automatically gets removed), do this to remove it:</p>
<pre><code>git annex metadata -s fieldIwant-=untagged
</code></pre>
<p>What the "?=" does is add that metadata only if the "fieldIwant" hasn't been set at all.</p>

This works great. Nice workaround, thanks very much.
