+# NAME
+
+git-annex reinit - initialize repository, reusing old UUID
+
+# SYNOPSIS
+
+git annex reinit `uuid|description`
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+
+Normally, initializing a repository generates a new, unique identifier
+(UUID) for that repository. Occasionally it may be useful to reuse a
+UUID -- for example, if a repository got deleted, and you're
+setting it back up.
+
+Use this with caution; it can be confusing to have two existing
+repositories with the same UUID. Also, you will probably want to run
+a fsck.
