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)

What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?

git-annex version: 10.20230626-g55fef4fb81 running on Archlinux (up to date)

Please provide any additional information below.

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!
