True as far as it goes, and for appropriate values of "what I have".
Neither do I _have_ to subscribe to the mailing list, or, for that
matter, to read the release notes of a new version I install.

But git is not particularly easy to learn on my own, so I end up
asking for help. (Arguably this qualifies as "not comfortable with
what I have.") And then "ancient version" translates all too easily
into "you should upgrade to a newer one".
