Since a week or two, git-annex fsck gives a warning that my files (all of them) can be upgraded to an improved key format (SHA256E). However, I use the SHA256E key format as long as I remember and running the proposed command doesn't remove the warning for the next git-annex fsck:
% git-annex fsck documenten/foto_maarten.jpg
fsck documenten/foto_maarten.jpg (checksum...)
documenten/foto_maarten.jpg: Can be upgraded to an improved key format. You can do so by running: git annex migrate --backend=SHA256E documenten/foto_maarten.jpg
ok
(recording state in git...)

Any idea what's going on here and how to solve it? I couldn't find anything so far.
I see these false positive warnings too. This is enough to trigger the issue on my end:
The presence of the warning bisects to 09df58c4e (handle keys with extensions consistently in all locales, 2020-02-20), which was a part of the 8.20200226 release.
