IMHO this does not warrant a version bump.  It should be mostly 
behind-the-scenes, after all.

Yes, it should be, but I think there will be a few user-visible fallouts
(like "--abbrev $foo" in scripts should now be "--abbrev-default $foo"
for safety).

But we are on our way to fix this, no?  IOW this warrants not a version 
bump, but an extended feature freeze/bug fix period (like Junio suggested, 
until January).
