+The assistant checks for available upgrades a few times a day.
+By default, it only pops up a message in the webapp with an upgrade button.
+
+annex.autoupgrade can configure this, so the assistant can be made
+to upgrade without confirmation if you want.
+
+The upgrade process needs to move the git-annex.linux directory out of the
+way and replace it with a new one from the tarball, so it will only
+work if the user running the assistant can write to it.
