It was instead that my versions of python didn't know about the
advertised library, possibly because I didn't know to tell them.

My use case for wanting the current behavior is when I add a file,
add references to it, but forget to do "git add". The "(m)" is

But what is the countervailing use case? Maybe there is a way to
solve both problems.

I took #1 and #3, and pushed another patch that includes the most
recent tag for non-release builds. Let's talk about #2 -- perhaps
I should take it as is, but that would require some other warning.
