This section is for people who are upgrading from ancient
versions of git. Although all of the changes in this section
happened before the current v1.4.4 release, they are summarized
here in the v1.5.0 release notes for people who skip versions
between upgrading.

In general, you should not have to worry about incompatibility.
There is no need to perform "repository conversion". However,
some of the changes are one-way street upgrades -- once you use
the feature your repository cannot be used with ancient git.

efficient to pack and to send out of the repository over git
native protocol. However, this format cannot be read by git

- Since v1.4.3, configuration repack.usedeltabaseoffset allows
packfile to be created in more space efficient format, which
cannot be read by git older than that version. This is not
enabled by default.
- 'git pack-refs' appeared in v1.4.4; this command allows tags
to be accessed much more efficiently than the traditional
'one-file-per-tag' format. Older git-native clients can
fetch from a repository that packed its tags (the server side
needs to run the up-to-date version of git), but older dumb
transports cannot. Packing of refs is done by an explicit
user action, either by use of "git pack-refs --prune" command
or by use of "git gc" command.

but older dumb transports cannot. Packing of refs is done by

- 'git -p' to paginate anything -- many commands do pagination
by default on a tty. Introduced between v1.4.1 and v1.4.2;
