So it's pretty reasonable that the (automatic) upgrade fails, since it's not being allowed to write to the repository to upgrade it. + +Now, if that repository is a indirect mode repo, there is really no change between version 3 and version 5, so it might do to let git-annex ignore the failure to write out the config, and treat that repo as if it's a v5 repo.
