git log git-annex..origin/git-annex fails, so both are *not* there.

Of course it *stores* information about a UUID in various places -- in your example you told it to store a description "test" for that UUID, so status displays that even if it doesn't know of any repository that has that UUID.

Because I don't know how to design a system that has auto-merging and supports outright deletion of UUIDs. Consider this location log file: 1319837256.637657s 1 82e27eac-00d2-11e1-98af-a7c8649fdab4 1319835945.041525s 0 d819e6c8-01a7-11e1-af2b-9f1a8049ae44 If d819e6c8-01a7-11e1-af2b-9f1a8049ae44 is "gone forever" and is removed, the log file will then contain: 1319837256.637657s 1 82e27eac-00d2-11e1-98af-a7c8649fdab4 But other repositories where that operation has not been performed will still contain the first file. When one of them is union merged back into it, the removed line will necessarily come back. The best that could be done is to add a fourth trust state that is like untrusted UUIDs but causes them to be hidden from view. But this would mean additional work, to handle this edge case -- and simply changing the description of a dead repository seems to work nearly as well. -- see shy jo
