I'm trying to recover from a mess caused by creating a new remote repository, making it shallow to save space, and updating it by mounting it on a local system with sshfs, etc. That caused an unintended rebase messing things up, e.g., git log shows most of the commits vanished (merged?). So I was trying to go back to an earlier, good, commit. However that requires changing, basically, everything. And that seems to be too big a change for git annex to process.
+FWIW, I'm not using lfs.
