NAME

       git-annex-upgrade - upgrade repository layout

SYNOPSIS

       git annex upgrade

DESCRIPTION

       Upgrades the repository to current layout.

       Each  git-annex  repository  has an annex.version in its git configuration, that indicates the repository
       version. If git-annex changes to a new layout, you must upgrade the repository before  git-annex  can  be
       used in it.

       To see version information, run git annex version.

       Currently,  git-annex supports upgrades all the way back to version 0, which was only used by its author.
       It's expected that git-annex will always support upgrading from all past repository versions --  this  is
       necessary to allow archives to be taken offline for years and later used.
