+### Please describe the problem.
+
+git-annex does not check for the minimum version of Git that it requires, and therefore it sometimes uses flags which my installed Git does not recognize.
+This happens when converting some indirect repositories to direct ones on an older server.
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+git annex direct
+
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+
+git-annex version: 5.20131130
+
+### Please provide any additional information below.
