Don't have it in the current version from git. See screenshot...
Is there anything I have to activate before this menu item becomes available?

Well, I just tried it and it worked. I guess I have been bitten by unexpected 
partial matches too many times, so I always try to match full lines...

Looks sane to me. Also, now I finally know what's the "move meta-data" about 
-- is this the "recommended" way of managing stacks? Normally I copy the full 
meta-data to all images of the stack and add/remove annotations for individual 
images as I see fit (e.g. different People in different images of whole 
panorama).

Ack to all of this. In my defense: I shortened the "What's this" texts quite a 
bit before sending that last mail -- It would have been tempting to make them 
into a short essay on perl regular expressions. ;-)
