By the way, just as a data point: I do keep some git repositories on
NFS, and access them from multiple machines with different git versions
(not on purpose--it's just that the machines don't all run the same
distro, so it'd be extra work to give them all the same version).  I
don't use anything older than 1.5.0.  If the repository became unusable
on one of those machines without warning it'd be annoying.
