Hi,
I've followed this thread http://forum.world.st/How-do-I-convert-a-FileTree-project-to-Metadataless-Gi... to switch to metadata less format,
Specifically:
1. change `.filetree` file, 2. load the repo to a clean image 3. make a change to each package and commit it
This worked correctly, however having to recommit each package is annoying if there are several.
the "resaving" thing isn't necessary. It would have happened anyway on the next save for a package, and gitfiletree never reads the metadata anyway.
My question is:
* is it safe to directly remove the incriminating files (all monticello.meta/version & methodProperties.json files),
Yes. You could also ask git to ignore them (some do that :)).
* is it possible to mass-commit all packages with simple script,
Yes.
* or should I just ignore the metadata and eventually someone will make a change to the package so the metadata silently disappears?
You could ignore, yes.
I'd choose ignoring. Once the property (metadata-less) is set on the repository, it is kept and maintained. Just don't forget to commit it :)
Yeah, this looks like the best and easiest solution. Thanks! Peter
