I want to create a repo with the contents of an old repo, but with a fresh commit history, etc. I do not care about preserving the old repo.
However, I just want to make sure that the following steps will not result in the new repo being broken in some way:
1) Create a new git annex repo.
2) Copy all of the symlinks pointing from the old repo to the new one.
3) Move .git/annex/objects from the old repo to the new one.
4) Then "git annex add" everything in the new repo and commit.
Please let me know also if there is a better way to achieve the same results.
Thanks for your help.
