I have to say I agree with the "apparently minor updates should not
break cross-version compat". And I think it's a communication issue
around the version numbering. The fact that this will be introduced
with a v1.5.5 is, IMHO, a good part of the problem.
If cvs 1.11 doesn't talk with 1.12 I'll say there are nuts - minor
revisions should interoperate with end users not even thinking about
it. But 1.5.5 has in its changelog lots of deprecations and interop
changes.
It's not good communication to label it 1.5.5.
Other than that, it's an _amazing_ thing, and I'm in love with git.
But the version number is a bit of a lie -- and is bound to confuse
and anger end users.
cheers,
martin
