Description

If you specify the loctation of the annotations using --annotation the annotations are parsed and saved. When you want to train any other (or the same) network with the same labels, the same set of annotations is loaded even if the --annotation option points to a different set of annotations.

I deleted the file net/yolo/parse-history.txt to get the annotations updated.

Research direction
Investigate the caching mechanism for annotations in net/yolo/parse history.txt. Check how the annotation argument is parsed and used in training. Look for any caching or persistent state that prevents updating annotations when the option changes. Ensure that the annotation cache is invalidated or updated when a different annotation path is provided.
