My preference is not to change the default index version for now,
and for a test that specifically checks features of a particular
index version, force the index version near the beginning of test
using "update-index --index-version $num".

For t2104, I think forcing the index version to 2 at the beginning
and not worry about v4 or later at all would be the right thing to
do.  That way, we will make sure older versions are still supported
with the new code that is capable of reading and writing newer ones.
