Hmm, odd.  It was added on 2000-06-22 (commit 5b0a4fc7 [1]),
meaning it should be present since 21.1 (released 2001-10-28 [2]).

The only reference I could find to it in the changelogs is an entry
by Stefan Monnier on 2010-11-23 [3], so it's been available since
pre-23.4 [4] at the very least.

Sounds good.  How about formalizing a backwards compatibility policy?

I'd say we try to ensure compatibility with the versions present in
Debian oldstable (currently Git v1.7.2.5 and Emacs v23.2), and any
compatibility with previous versions is just a lucky coincidence.
