Now that the current git won't work with older servers anyway, what 
about using this opportunity to add a 'version' command to the server? 
With such a command, such problems would seem to be quite easily 
avoidable in the future, since the client can discriminate based on the 
server's version.

I'm not sure how to implement this (the problems seem to be that (a) it 
needs to work with git-shell and real shells, and (b) that older clients 
must not be supplied with a version number in order not to break them), 
but perhaps this is worth pondering.

Apologies if this has been discussed before.
