Can't we add a msg to 1.4.4.x when it finds pack version 2 to upgrade
to 1.5.x? Gets rid of the problem all together while still giving the
user a reasonable message when it finds a repo version 2.
Hey, here's an idea, can't we have 1.4.4.x just give that msg for everything?

$cat git
#!/bin/sh

echo "Please upgrade to 1.5.x, version 1.4.x is no longer supported
nor should you even want to use it </cluebat>"
