-### 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.

-> git-annex checks the git version at compile time and arranges to use
-> commands that will work with that version of git at run time.
-> 
-> Adding a runtime check for a minimum git version would slow every git-annex
-> command down and so I don't want to do it. It's up to the user to not
-> built git-annex with a new version of git and then try to use it with an
-> old version of git.
-> 
-> `git checkout -B` seems to have been added to git quite a long time ago
-> (2010), in version 1.7.1.1. I've made git-annex check at compile
-> time if being built with such an old version and refuse to build.
