As soon as I stepped away I could see more clearly: Basically
'multi-wc-format' is just providing an API up to the client
layer for
enumerating WC format variants. The same logical functionality
could be
implemented for a particular feature (e.g. pristines-on-demand)
by
looking directly at some other on-disk representation change to
distinguish variants within one format number; this branch just
formalizes and generalizes it. It doesn't make more or better
compatibility than could be done ad-hoc; it doesn't magically
make old
clients be able to work with newer formats/variants than they
know about.
I expect you mean, "that they *don't* know about."
I think you might have read "that" where Julian wrote "than" :-).
