NO! It is _wrong_ to require users to upgrade, when a little more work on our side would fix it. Requiring users to upgrade is a proactive way to get rid of new users.

And old ones. If you would require me to upgrade to Perl 5.8.1, I would rather stop upgrading git. Hell, something I really like about git: I just download the tar.gz, unpack it, and type make install. And usually that Just Works. (Except MinGW32, but I have already managed to see a nice "git-log -p" with it.)

Ciao, Dscho
