In fact, I imagine there will be a release-0.4 branch instead of a tag, so you will probably be able to ignore the "git fetch --tags" and do something more like "git checkout release-0.4". Anyway, my point being that quite a lot will change in v0.4 so it's best to run the upgrade yourself (and you can do it without deleting everything and starting again). There will definitely be instructions available!
