pack.indexversion config option now defaults to 2
As announced for 1.6.0. Git older than version 1.5.2 (or any other git version with this option set to 1) may revert to version 1 of the pack index by manually deleting all .idx files and recreating them using 'git index-pack'. Communication over the git native protocol is unaffected since the pack index is never transferred. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

If you have an old git that does not understand the version 2 `{asterisk}.idx` file,

cloning or fetching over a non native protocol (e.g. "http" and "rsync")
