Upgrades the repository to current layout.
* forget
Causes the git-annex branch to be rewritten, throwing away historical
data about past locations of files, files that are no longer present on
any remote, etc. The resulting branch will use less space, but for
example `git annex log` will not be able to show where files used to
be located.
To also prune references to remotes that have been marked as dead,
specify --forget-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 branch. 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.
