As per topic, `git annex forget --drop-dead --force` does not behave as expected. Instead of getting rid of dead repositories, it actually revives them.

I messed up the initial setup of the S3 special remote and instead of risking manual intervention, I figured it would be cleanest to nuke the old special remotes, using a new one instead.
And yes, I should have used a test repo :(

As this is apu.debconf.org, you could get access to the repo if that helps.
