+### Please describe the problem.
+
+I accidentally (my fault!) run detox (batch file renamer to eliminate spaces etc.) on a git-annex dir, alas detox substitutes every "--" with "-", thus "destroying" my annex. Of course the objects are still there, just renamed so that the symlinks are now all broken.
+
+I solved it by copying the objects back from my backup (I have many rsynced backups) since I was too lazy to write a script to rename all the files...
+
+A good solution would be to provide a general script (or there is one already?) to try to recover situations like this one, maybe using shatag to identify data objects.
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+Just run detox -vr (verbose, recursive) on an annex
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+
+5.20150819+g
+
+Linux
+
+### Please provide any additional information below.

+### 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)
+
+
+I currently have about a dozen annexes, local and remote (nfs, git), no other big problem apart from lac of speed when syncing
