Unfortunately, there are still plenty of production systems with

this problem if necessary).

Yes, a comprehensive list would be appreciated. This change is an
uglification that I personally would prefer to stay out of the code base
unless many consumers of git are hurt.

The problem with this non-feature is that it is all too easy that new code
introduces new incompatibilities.

BTW, did you notice that git is a version control system that hosts itself? ;)
