Very quick one, if anyone has to share experience with views (i would find them useful to get partial checkout views, as long as I can find a special setup to preserve the tree/filenames hyerarchy):
by using (filtering) views I am getting file names changed to include the (orignal) dir name, for instance:
2008/pippo.doc
after a git annex view 2008/=*, comes out as pippo_%2008%.doc is this avoidable ?
(i've been trying to follow metadata walkthrough etc. but i always get the dirname in the filename between percents...)
btw: version is 5.20141105
therefore instead of tagging the files and placing them into subdirectories (which somehow seems confounding views reperesentation), i'll be using sparse checkout for the subdirectories I need.
i'll be looking in sparse checkouts so that i have separate trees checked out from same annex ( see http://git-annex.branchable.com/forum/sparse_git_checkouts_with_annex/ )
cheers
This naming is necessary to deal with the problem that a view could contain two files with the name name. So the directory is included to work around it.

%looks sort of like a/
