Description
I had a git repo inside my kbfs (I wanted the auto-sync of kbfs and the history inspection of git). I realize this is probably not ideal but I'm very good at git and thought I could handle it. Unfortunately now that I have moved this repo elsewhere, all of my other files are broken symlinks to a some git-annex repo that I don't know how to access.
What can I do to fix this or troubleshoot further?
