### Please describe the problem.
Starting the webapp on a repository that was hastily created by copying an existing one with an older version yields an undecipherable error.
Rather minor.
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install git-annex from git
2. make a repo
3. copy it over to an external hard drive
4. connect that drive to a wheezy box running git-annex from backports
5. add the external hard drive to the webapp as a new repo
6. boom
I expected git-annex to tell me:
git-annex: Repository version 5 is not supported. Upgrade git-annex.
Instead, it popped a red box saying a scary "Internal server error". I couldn't read the daemon logs either.
### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
original version is:
git-annex version: 5.20131109-gf2cb5b9
the failing version is running the one from wheezy backports.
### Please provide any additional information below.
