migrate does not seem to have an effect

[Rolf Leggewie]

I noticed the following strange behavior in focal. First, fsck complains about old key format versions even on a freshly created repository. Secondly, the suggested fix does not work.

  Fake LM2596HV Voltage Regulator Buck Converter Modules bought on eBay-JLwJb4MVbls.mp4: Can be upgraded to an improved key format. You can do so by running: git annex migrate --backend=SHA256E Fake LM2596HV Voltage Regulator Buck Converter Modules bought on eBay-JLwJb4MVbls.m

ok
(recording state in git...)

I was now unable to verify the problem with the latest release provided by NeuroDebian. It looks like this was fixed upstream in the meantime.

no longer a problem at least in jammy
