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.
