NAME¶
git-annex-reinit - initialize repository, reusing old UUID
SYNOPSIS¶
git annex reinit
uuid|description
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. Also, you will probably want to run a fsck.
Like
git annex init, this attempts to enable any special remotes that are
configured with autoenable=true.
