+Is it possible to freeze or peg repositories at a particular version, or at least require confirmation before being upgraded? Is it possible to "downgrade" a repository?
+
+### Please describe the problem.
+
+We have a number of repositories on a shared file server. These repositories are accessed by multiple machines. Some of these repositories appear to have gotten upgraded and are now unusable on machines running older versions of git-annex.
+
+We're getting this message:
+[[!format sh """
+densho@kinkura:/media/qnfs/kinkura/gold/ddr-janm-1$ git annex status
+git-annex: Repository version 5 is not supported. Upgrade git-annex.
+"""]]
+
+The machine experiencing the problem is running Debian Wheezy (Stable).
+[[!format sh """
+densho@kinkura:/media/qnfs/kinkura/gold/ddr-janm-1$ git version
+git version 1.7.10.4
+densho@kinkura:/media/qnfs/kinkura/gold/ddr-janm-1$ git annex version
+git-annex version: 3.20120629
+local repository version: 5
+default repository version: 3
+supported repository versions: 3
+upgrade supported from repository versions: 0 1 2
+"""]]
+
+I'm guessing that one of the machines with access to this repository was running a newer version of git-annex, and that the repository was upgraded in the course of some action.
