# NAME
Added annex.autoupgraderepository configuration Can be set to false to prevent any automatic repository upgrades. Also, removed direct mode specific upgrade code in Annex.Init, and made needsUpgrade always include the name/path of the repo, so if there's a problem it's clear what repo has the problem. And, made needsUpgrade catch any exceptions that might occur during the upgrade, so it can display a more useful error message than just the exception.

that indicates the repository version. When an old repository version
becomes deprecated, git-annex will automatically upgrade it
(unless annex.autoupgraderepository is set to false). To manually upgrade,
you can use this command.

Sometimes there's a newer repository version that is not the default yet,
and then you can use this command to upgrade to it.

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.

expand manpages cross-references significantly i found that most man pages only had references to the main git-annex manpage, which i stillfind pretty huge and hard to navigate through. i tried to sift through all the man pages and add cross-references between relevant pages. my general rule of thumb is that links should be both ways unless one of the pages is a more general page that would become ridiculously huge if all backlinks would be added (git-annex-preferred-content comes to mind). i have also make the links one per line as this is how it was done in the metadata pages so far. i did everything but the plumbing, utility and test commands, although some of those are linked from the other commands so cross-links were added there as well.
