+I think you are making this a lot more complex than it will appear to any
+user. These versions are almost indistinguishable by the user; v9 is
+literally one git config change from v8.
+
+And also, I reserve the right to make it do *anything that makes sense*
+around upgrades. Overspecifying the behavior will constrain future
+upgrades. Repository upgrades often already involve threading a very fine
+needle, making the hole artificially smaller does not seem wise.
+
+I suspect your test suite is unncessarily fragile around git-annex
+repository version numbers, perhaps that is the real root of your
+problem?
