What about using branch.*.stgit.formatversion to store the version,

Good idea. But we should probably fall back to stgitformatversion (or
better, upgrade from it) to be nice to those running Catalin's master.

It happens a bit too often that we find problems with patches only
after Catalin has published them on "master". (At least that seems to
be the case with patches coming from me!) Maybe a "pu" branch
(maintained either by Catalin or someone else) would be a good way to
smoke them out before they're written in stone and distributed to lots
of people.

If the stgitformatversion patch had been on such a branch, we could
just have edited it and not have to worry about upgrading old configs
(aside from posting a mail on how to upgrade manually).
