Not really. Jesse claimed that it didn't pack repositories and we
wondered what version he was running since the version packaged for
Fedora _definitely_ does. The current version has been shipping in
Extras since October, but I'm sure it's been packing repositories for
longer than that. I think that discussion probably accounts for most of
the questions about 'different versions' except for the ancient
historical anecdotes -- it was more of a 'wtf _are_ you running, if you
claim that it doesn't pack automatically'?

Git also 'just works' and doesn't require the user to care about
packing. Any suggestion to the contrary was either out of date, user
error or or misinformation.
