NAME

6       git-annex-restage - restages unlocked files in the git index
7

SYNOPSIS

9       git annex restage
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Since  getting  or  dropping  an unlocked file modifies the file in the
13       work tree, git needs to be told that the modification does  not  change
14       the  content  that  it  has recorded (the annex pointer). Restaging the
15       file accomplishes that.
16
17       You do not normally need to run this command, because usually git-annex
18       is  able  to  restage  unlocked files itself. There are some situations
19       where git-annex needs to restage a file, but the git index  is  locked,
20       and  so  it  cannot.  It will then display a warning suggesting you run
21       this command.
22
23       It's safe to run this command even after you have made  a  modification
24       to an unlocked file.
