Auto_update_not_updating_to_newest_version.mdwn

### Please describe the problem.

I assume this is an assistant problem.

My git-annex version on Mac OS seems to lag significantly behind current releases. I was today informed that it was updated to 5.20131221-g00d1673. Given that there are at least two newer versions I expected it to be updated to the newest one.

There also seems no way to trigger a check for a new version.

### What steps will reproduce the problem?

Install on Mac. Observe over some days and see it not update.


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

5.20131221-g00d1673,
Mac OS

### Please provide any additional information below.
