      I screwed up my (pretty urgently-needed) git-annex repo by adding a completely wrong remote (like, an entirely different git directory) and then doing "git annex sync [name]"
The repos in question:
    /foo/good   -   A repo on a hard drive
    /bar/good   -   The same repo on my local computer
    /bar/bad    -   An entirely unrelated repo on my local computer
What I did was basically:
    cd /bar
    git clone /foo/good
    cd good
    git annex init bar
    cd /foo/good
    git remote add bar /bar/bad   # BAD!
    git annex sync bar
This pulled in the entire history of this 100% unrelated git repo. I realize what I've done, do "git reflog" and find the last good commit, and:
    git reset --hard [last-good-commit]
    git status
    git fsck
    git annex fsck
    git log
Everything looks normal.
Then I:
    git remote remove bar
    git remote add bar /bar/good
    git annex sync bar
And I get the whole /bar/bad repo's history again!
There are lots of other weird things I've encountered now I'm in this state, but to keep this as simple as I can: what should I do in this situation?!
Thank you!!
