Description

@bschwedler, and likely others, would favor version subpaths not including version metadata. This could be a behavior we use by default or one that is triggered by a CLI flag.


Ooohhh! I really like this!

Can we do this by default unless otherwise specified? Something like --strip-metadata vs --no-strip-metadata (not super happy with this name since it doesn't say where the metadata is stripped).
