What version does one hope to get from the remote over HTTP? You can only
tell what versions he's copied/pulled (in that it will be at the top of the
RSS feed/timeline), but that doesn't mean he's got that version checked out
or installed.

sounds _very_ much like the "quiet update" thread from a couple weeks back,
in that the functionality would basically be the same: figure out if
there's a newer version or not (i.e. if there's work to be done or not).
