NAME

6       git-annex-upgrade - upgrade repository
7

SYNOPSIS

9       git annex upgrade
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Upgrades the repository.
13
14       Each  git-annex  repository  has an annex.version in its git configura‐
15       tion, that indicates the repository version.  When  an  old  repository
16       version  becomes  deprecated,  git-annex  will automatically upgrade it
17       (unless annex.autoupgraderepository  is  set  to  false).  To  manually
18       upgrade, you can use this command.
19
20       Sometimes  there's  a  newer repository version that is not the default
21       yet, and then you can use this command to upgrade to it.
22
23       Currently, git-annex supports upgrades all the way back to  version  0,
24       which  was  only  used by its author. It's expected that git-annex will
25       always support upgrading from all past repository versions --  this  is
26       necessary  to  allow  archives  to be taken offline for years and later
27       used.
