There is a pack version number. Reception of an unknown pack already
produces an error:
if (!pack_version_ok(hdr->hdr_version))
die("unknown pack file version %d", ntohl(hdr->hdr_version));
That will occur really early in a pull or clone when using the native
protocol.
Can this be fixed so that if the pack protocol coming from the server
is greater than the one handled by the client. they client gets a nice
hint about upgrading?
