Hello Gerrit, Sure, it is pretty easy to get repositoryformatversion's value found in the [core] section of the .git/config file and that is not the meant goal. The meant one is GIT_REPO_VERSION since it is being compared to the repositoryformatversion (like GIT_REPO_VERSION < repository_format_version) in setup.c:check_repository_format_gently(int *nongit_ok). So if my git program dies with: "fatal: Expected git repo version <= V, found V+1" because repositoryformatversion is bigger than GIT_REPO_VERSION, I would like to be able to query its internal GIT_REPO_VERSION in order to determine which .git/* my git is able to process. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
