+### Please describe the problem.
+I was accidentally syncing between repos at v5 and v6, I didn't realize they were different versions until I started digging into this issue.
+
+I have two repos, one at v5 and one at v6. I add a file to v6 annex, unlock, then sync to my v5 repo. From my v5 repo, I then move the file into a sub-directory, in my v5 repo, and accidentally commit with git add; git commit, instead of git annex add; git commit, since with my v6 repo I am used to using git add for everything. The file content is now missing from annex on my v5 repo. I then sync from both repos. Now the file in v5 repo is broken and the content is not present in annex. The content is fine on the v6 repo. The only way to actually get annex to see the content, from my v5 repo, though is to do git annex upgrade, git annex sync, fsck repair don't help.
