If I follow the Changelog correctly:

https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/blob/1.0.0rc1/docs/changes.rst

what you want to do is going to be complicated if you are already using 
1.0.0rc against an existing repo. Basically a repo can have multiple 
chunk size archives within it and that can result from the program 
version change or user changes to --chunker-params. So knowing what 
version created a repo is not necessarily an indication of the 
chunkiness of the archives within.
