From 69dec66b2f6ab5c8138cca37e74bd405c541318a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Wed, 4 Apr 2012 09:37:02 -0700 Subject: update-index: upgrade/downgrade on-disk index version With the "--index-version " parameter, write the index out in the specified version. With this, an index file that is written in newer format (say v4) can be downgraded to be read by older versions of Git.
