[ git info --maintainer ]

I'd really _love_ a tool that does all that what you've proposed above! But why does it have to be "git-info" or anything in the git(7) suite for that matter? This sounds like a job for a different specialised tool, long with ".metatags" kind of files dispersed in the source tree.

To automatically move (and delete) the meta-data alongside the files themselves is a reason.

More generally -- shouldn't it? This is about source management (well, maybe more about project management, but...) and the source code management tool looks to be the right place for that. The different parts of git are somewhat/fairly stand-alone as is, no?

If you were going to do that I'd just suggest making git aware of the "user.*" extended attributes and having it save those into the git repo along with the permission data.

Cheers,
Kyle Moffett
