git-annex-reinit - initialize repository, reusing old UUID
git annex reinit
uuid|description
Normally, initializing a repository generates a new, unique identifier (UUID)
for that repository. Occasionally it may be useful to reuse a UUID -- for
example, if a repository got deleted, and you're setting it back up.
Use this with caution; it can be confusing to have two existing repositories
with the same UUID.
Make sure you run
git annex fsck after changing the UUID of a repository
to make sure location tracking information is recorded correctly.
Like
git annex init, this attempts to enable any special remotes that are
configured with autoenable=true.
