### Please describe the problem. When using the metadata driven view fields values that contain a slash break the view field=* functionality ### What steps will reproduce the problem? $ git annex metadata --set test=a/b file.tex $ git annex view test=* view (searching...) git-annex: fd:13: commitBuffer: invalid argument (invalid character) failed git-annex: view: 1 failed ### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system? git-annex version: 5.20151218-g5008846 on ArchLinux ### Please provide any additional information below. To me it seems like this is only occuring during a field=* view. Everywhere else the field value behaves normally, For example its possible to directly address the field value in a view without issue. $ git annex view test=a/b view (searching...) Switched to branch 'views/(test=a/b)' ok I dont have any issues with non latin characters so this doesnt seem related to the locale issues in [https://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/view_fails_with___34__invalid_character__34__/](https://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/view_fails_with___34__invalid_character__34__/) I was trying out the metadata extraction via libextractor and for the mimetype there often are slashes involved. ### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders) Apart from this git-annex is working very well for me. I mostly use it as an archive, distributing numerous copies on various hard drives and cloud providers and keeping track of what is where.Its an amazing tool for that. > [[done]] --[[Joey]]
