### Fixed in Version 7.20190122

Hello, 
When doing a "git annex init somename --version=5" on git-annex 7.20181211, it still creates an v7 repository. I want to be able to use the direct-mode because of space constraints (v7 unlocked files take up double the space).

### What steps will reproduce the problem?
See the transcript below, on a vfat-Filesystem.

### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
7.20181211 on debian buster

### 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)
