When necessary, transition strategy for existing users has been designed |

not to force them running around setting configuration variables and |

updating their scripts in order to either keep the traditional behaviour |

1.6.0, even though the change had been advertised and the transition |

guide had been provided for a very long time, the users procrastinated |

during the entire transtion period, and ended up panicking on the day |

their sysadmins updated their git installation. We tried very hard to |

of git, you would have already seen warnings issued when you exercised |
