The `Unable to set versionmode=prev for the line without opts=pgpmode=prev'
warning is really confusing, as it does not really says what is wrong, and
what I as a user can do to get rid of it. Not to mention that it
suggests replacing `pgpmode=previous' (taken from the man page) with
`pgpmode=prev' in the watch file...
It took me some time to discover that the warning really means that the
locally downloaded version is just the same as the latest remote version...
Regards,
robert
