Is it possible to freeze or peg repositories at a particular version, or to prevent automatic repository version upgrades? Is it possible to "downgrade" a repository?
### Please describe the problem.
We have a number of repositories on a shared file server. These repositories are accessed by multiple machines. Some of these repositories appear to have gotten upgraded and are now unusable on machines running older versions of git-annex.
We're getting this message:
[[!format sh """
user@system:/path/to/repository$ git annex status
git-annex: Repository version 5 is not supported. Upgrade git-annex.
"""]]
The machine experiencing the problem is running Debian Wheezy (Stable).
[[!format sh """
user@system:/path/to/repository$ git version
git version 1.7.10.4
user@system:/path/to/repository$ git annex version
git-annex version: 3.20120629
local repository version: 5
default repository version: 3
supported repository versions: 3
upgrade supported from repository versions: 0 1 2
"""]]
I'm guessing that one of the machines with access to this repository was running a newer version of git-annex, and that the repository was upgraded in the course of some action.

If your repository is not using direct mode, it's completely safe to edit .git/config and set the version back to 3. There is no change between 3 and 5 for indirect mode repositories.
Unfortunately, using git-annex version 5 will automatically upgrade the repository to 5 again. In general, I only want git-annex to support one version at a time, to avoid complicating the code. I did try leaving the indirect mode repositories at v3, but that didn't work out (some details in [[!commit b1d7474c1d713a5b422948178abb4e5f39e85096]]).
I kind of think that part of the problem is that you're using git-annex repositories accessed via a file server. If your server had git-annex installed on it and the clients talked to it only by sshing in and running git-annex-shell, it would not matter if the clients had a newer version, because they'd never access the central repository directly.
