+### Please describe the problem.

+I have an old (broken) annex that I would like to revive. I'm unable to upgrade the annex.
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?

+git annex sync
+git-annex: Repository /mnt/sdc/annex/.git is at unsupported version 9. Automatic upgrade exception! .git/annex: createDirectory: does not exist (No such file or directory)

+### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
+
+I'm starting to get the hang of git-annex (after about three years ;-). I started with an annex which I somehow broke. Then I opened a "bannex", which I thought I broke. Therefore I started "cannex", only to realize that bannex wasn't broke. Now I'm using bannex, but my data is scattered around a-,b-,c-annex. I think I made Napoleon somewhere in between (because he annexed Europe). But my brain is slowly wrapping around git and the annex. I'd like to create an annex to rule them all ;-)
+Thanks to the developers!
