</div>I pretty routinely update the protocol headers in older Fedoras so I can<br>
build git xservers on released OSes. And it's really nice for bisection<br>
to not need to lockstep the protocol headers with the server, where by<br>
really nice I mean the alternative would be infuriating.<br>
<br>
We haven't always done the <protocol-versions.h> thing; that it's there<br>
now is because it fixed a class of bugs we really did hit in the wild.<br>
