Hi,
For some reason, two of my repositories share the same UUID. Honestly I don't remember how this happened, as I set up these remotes years ago and not used them for a long time; maybe I just accidentally made a copy instead of git clone… no idea. Anyway, I'd like to use these remotes now. What's the best way to correct this problem? Is just editing UUID manually enough?
Thank you,
So, the procedure that worked for me was:
edit the annex.uuid configuration setting in one of the repositories that had a duplicate
edit the remote.*.annex.uuid configuration setting in all repositories that had the repository edited in (1) as a remote
git annex fsck
in both repositories that had the duplicate uuid—this is because these repositories did not have correct information as to which files they contained, due to my previous syncing effortsgit annex sync
