# DESCRIPTION
-Indicates that the repository has been irretrievably lost.
-(To undo, use semitrust.)
+This command exists to deal with situations where data has been lost,
+and you know it has, and you want to stop being reminded of that fact.
+When a repository is specified, indicates that the repository has
+been irretrievably lost, so it will not be listed in eg, `git annex info`.
Repositories can be specified using their remote name, their
-description, or their UUID.
+description, or their UUID. (To undo, use `git-annex semitrust`.)
+
+When a key is specified, indicates that the content of that key has been
+irretrievably lost. This prevents `git annex fsck --all` from complaining
+about it. (To undo, add the key's content back to the repository,
+by using eg, `git-annex reinject`.)
