git-annex-reinit - initialize repository, reusing old UUID
Contents
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 gitannexfsck after changing the UUID of a repository to make sure location tracking
information is recorded correctly.
Like gitannexinit, this attempts to enable any special remotes that are configured with
autoenable=true.
