### Workaround
In both these cases, what I can do is <del>unlock (maybe?) or unannex (definitely) all of the files, and then re-add them using the new hash</del> use `migrate` to relink the files using the new scheme. In both use cases this means I now risk having duplicates in various clones of the repo, and would have to clean them up with `drop-unused` -- after first having re-copied them from a repo that has them under the new hash or `migrate`d them in each clone using the pre-migration commit; Either way is problematic for special remotes, in particular glacier. I also lose the continuity of the history of that object.
