# 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.
