-it's a mystery to me why that stuff disappeared from `git-annex info`.
+it's a mystery to me why that stuff disappeared from `git-annex info`. it's especially confusing since some commands seem to recognize there *was* a remote there:
+
+    $ git annex enableremote f867da6f-78cb-49be-a0db-d1c8e5f53664
+    git-annex: Unknown special remote.
+            f867da6f-78cb-49be-a0db-d1c8e5f53664 -- n900
+
+Notice how `n900` was shown here: that metadata obviously *is* somewhere! The uuid.log file is obviously damaged:
+
+    [1036]anarcat@angela:mp31$ git cat-file -p git-annex:uuid.log
+    45124790-dbb7-4e2e-bc0a-acfb618a01e0 anarcat@angela:/media/anarcat/cb39412b-d221-4846-a9dd-cdbabd9958f1/Music timestamp=1459356223.537195s
+
+... and it clearly looks like the file was damaged on that new repo:

+So i guess i could manually edit that uuid.log file to restore my metadata, but i'm puzzled as to where my data went or how!
 
 ### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
