-Is it possible to freeze or peg repositories at a particular version, or to prevent automatic repository version upgrades? 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 """
-user@system:/path/to/repository$ 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 """
-user@system:/path/to/repository$ git version
-git version 1.7.10.4
-user@system:/path/to/repository$ git annex version
-git-annex version: 3.20120629
-local repository version: 5
-default repository version: 3

-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.

-> I took this onboard with v6; upgrade to it is currently optional and will
-> only become the default once enough years have passed that it's
-> reasonable to assume most people have git-annex 6.x installed.

-> I think at this point it's reasonable to assume most people have
-> git-annex 5.x installed, so there's no point in trying to change to v3 to
-> v5 forced upgrade at this point. So, [[done]] --[[Joey]]
