From e4910c9e5cae89691512bec4145f66b63e406936 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?David=20H=C3=A4rdeman?= Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2008 22:24:11 +0200 Subject: Add dynamic metafile path In some situations it may be useful to have multiple sets of metadata for the same hierarchy (e.g. representing how a file set should appear on different hosts).
