#39 Git-annex upgrade request

For a rather old repository I get a request from the gin-cli to upgrade my git-annex version, see below:

The current repository is using an old layout for annexed data.  It is
recommended that you upgrade to the newest version.  You may still use it as is
for now, but in the future the upgrade will happen automatically.  This message
will continue to appear for affected git-annex operations until you upgrade.

Run 'gin annex upgrade' followed by 'gin init' to upgrade this repository now. 
The operation should only take a few seconds.

Visit the following page for a description of how this change may affect your
workflow:
https://gin.g-node.org/G-Node/gin-cli-releases/src/master/v1.7#changes

However, the link provided is broken and should probably read https://gin.g-node.org/G-Node/gin-cli-releases/src/master/versions/v1.7#changes

Also it is not clear from the description if this local change of the git-annex repository version will affect the version used by the gin server. A note clarifying if this will cause changes on the server side / conflicts with other contributors to the same repository would be helpful.

My local versions are:

GIN command line client 1.10 Build 001448 (f8d30168ef1a59c627d791a4aa46d32c442c5045)
  git: 2.24.0
  git-annex: 7.20190819+git2-g908476a9b-1~ndall+1

Thanks for the report. The broken link is unfortunate. I'll fix it in the repo since people might need to find it from older gin-cli installations.

Link in message should work now. Made a note to change the link in the next release.
