Yes, AFAICT it is Ubuntu "the most up-to-date distro there is". At least
many questions on the list and in IRC suggest that.

So, how about checking (at least for a year) in builtin-fetch, if
"branches/" or "remotes/" exist, and fail, with a nice message how to move
to config-based remotes?

...by suggesting to use a nice conversion script which we don't
have.

BTW, as far as I can see, git-remote reads old configuration just fine,
so it probably will a very simple script: read all and write all. Well,
the "all" part of it can be a bit complicated, but aside from that...
