At one point I was using an old version of git-bug on a repository that I stopped updating for a while. Today I wanted to use it again, and git-bug complained about the incompatible metadata format.

However I didn't want to upgrade the existing data, I just wanted to re-create the metadata from scratch.

I actually had an hard time finding out all the places/refs that one needed to remove before git-bug was happy to initialize a new repository.

I don't think a "remove from repository" command is necessary, but it would be nice to have an overview and/or list of commands that can be used to remove all refs, dirs and config entries used by git-bug from an existing repository.

To account for all past versions, so far these seem to be the following refs: refs/bugs/ refs/identities/ refs/remotes/*/bugs/, the "git-bug[.*]" entries from .git/config, the .git/git-bug directory.. (did I miss anything?)
