If you really want to, check out the git-annex branch and delete the line from uuid.log, and do this on every repo in tandem. But it seems a lot of bother for something that is entirely hidden except for this one place.

Another possibilty is to reuse the dead uuids for later repos. You can do this by just setting annex.uuid in .git/config before you run <code>git annex init</code>, and then run <code>git annex fsck</code>.
Another ideahttp://git-annex.branchable.com/forum/Truly_purging_dead_repositories/comment_3_2576e45436008ff5a7ae5a38cade658e/John2013-11-27T22:47:37Z2012-10-18T05:38:07Z
What if git annex status didnn't show dead repository unless I specified "git annex status --dead"? If you're OK with that, I'll try adding it.
