Thierry, I know there is a working version... let me search...

Dale says Richard made a metadata-less version.�

We should take a look at that.�

Esteban, Sebastian,

In the filetree code, you will find a format without metadata, but it's not in use anymore.

If you use gitfiletree, it will write the metadata for compatibility reasons with filetree, but it will never read it back.

I'm pushing code to make filetree robust to absence of metadata, but I haven't worked on it for a while.

gitfiletree has solved the problem of a slow metadata read. It does not solve any performance problem associated with writing, yet.

I know there is a version of filetree without metadata (more compelling
for projects that will never use other formats).
Dale told me that there was a preview somewhere, but I didn't tested yet
(lack of time) and now I cannot find the mail...
Dale, can you re-send the link?

cheers,
Esteban
