# NAME

git-annex dead - hide a lost repository or key

# SYNOPSIS

git annex dead `[repository ...] [--key key]`

# DESCRIPTION

This command exists to deal with situations where data has been lost,
and you know it has, and you want to stop being reminded of that fact.

When a repository is specified, indicates that the repository has
been irretrievably lost, so it will not be listed in eg, `git annex info`.
Repositories can be specified using their remote name, their
description, or their UUID. (To undo, use `git-annex semitrust`.)

When a key is specified, indicates that the content of that key has been
irretrievably lost. This prevents `git annex fsck --all` from complaining
about it. (To undo, add the key's content back to the repository,
by using eg, `git-annex reinject`.)

expand manpages cross-references significantly i found that most man pages only had references to the main git-annex manpage, which i stillfind pretty huge and hard to navigate through. i tried to sift through all the man pages and add cross-references between relevant pages. my general rule of thumb is that links should be both ways unless one of the pages is a more general page that would become ridiculously huge if all backlinks would be added (git-annex-preferred-content comes to mind). i have also make the links one per line as this is how it was done in the metadata pages so far. i did everything but the plumbing, utility and test commands, although some of those are linked from the other commands so cross-links were added there as well. 2015-05-29 16:12:55 +00:00			`[[git-annex-trust]](1)`
