### Please describe the problem. Originally spotted/reported: https://github.com/datalad/datalad/issues/1020 If that is mandatory, then I guess there should be some error message. ### What steps will reproduce the problem? create a remote repo without specifying version, i.e. of version 5 and copy data into it ### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system? 6.20160923+gitgd1dabb3-1~ndall+1 ### Please provide any additional information below.
