Only files whose content +is currently available are migrated. + +Note that the content is also still available using the old key after +migration. Use `git annex unused` to find and remove the old key. + +Normally, nothing will be done to files already using the new backend. +However, if a backend changes the information it uses to construct a key, +this can also be used to migrate files to use the new key format. + +When you have multiple repositories that each contain a copy of a file, +it's best to run migrate in all of them. + +# OPTIONS + +* `--backend` + + Specify the new key-value backend to use for migrated data. + +* `--force` + + Force migration of keys that are already using the new backend. + +* file matching options + + The [[git-annex-matching-options]](1) + can be used to specify files to migrate. + +# SEE ALSO + +[[git-annex]](1) + +# AUTHOR + +Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> + +Warning: Automatically converted into a man page by mdwn2man.
