Hi!

what's wrong here with getting metadata back:

# setup
$ git init .
$ git annex init
init  ok
(Recording state in git...)
$ touch testfile
$ git add testfile 
$ git commit -m "imp"
[master (Basis-Commit) 55c385e] imp
 1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
 create mode 100644 testfile

# set metadata
$ git annex metadata testfile --set key=val

# retrieval doesn't work
$ git annex metadata testfile --get key
$ git annex metadata testfile
$ 

What I would expect here is to get "val" back.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!
