In other words, newer git lets you choose to make your repository unreadable by 1.4, and you chose to do so, perhaps for a good reason. Should we call git 1.5 "backward incompatible" with 1.4, because it allows you (or anybody) to make that choice? I dunno. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
