Upgrade other repos than the current one by running git-annex upgrade inside them, which avoids problems with upgrade code making assumptions that the cwd will be inside the repo being upgraded. In particular, this fixes a problem where upgrading a v7 repo to v8 caused an ugly git error message. I actually could not find a way to make Upgrade.V7 work properly without changing directory to the remote. Once I got git ls-files to work, the git cat-file failed because :path can only be used in the current git repo.

# NAME
|
|
|
|
git-annex upgrade - upgrade repository
|
|
|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
git annex upgrade
|
|
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Upgrades the repository to the latest version.
|
|
|
|
Each git-annex repository has an annex.version in its git configuration,
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
# OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
* --autoonly
|
|
|
|
Only do whatever automatic upgrade can be done, don't necessarily
|
|
upgrade to the latest version. This is used internally by git-annex.
