   Note that the assistant forces repos into direct mode; that will need to
   be changed then, and it should enable annex.thin instead.
-* annex.thin doesn't have any effect on filesystems not supporting
-  hard links. It does work on Windows now(!) -- but not on FAT.

 * Later still, remove support for direct mode, and enable automatic
   v5 to v6 upgrades.
