Upgrades the repository to current layout.
* forget
Causes the git-annex branch to be rewritten, throwing away historical
data about past locations of files. The resulting branch will use less
space, but `git annex log` will not be able to show where
files used to be located.
To also prune references to repositories that have been marked as dead,
specify --drop-dead.
When this rewritten branch is merged into other clones of
the repository, git-annex will automatically perform the same rewriting
to their local git-annex branches. So the forgetfulness will automatically
propigate out from its starting point until all repositories running
git-annex have forgotten their old history. (You may need to force
git to push the branch to any git repositories not running git-annex.
