"This is a real show-stopper. It's not possible to fix this with a new
protocol version?"
I think the problem is really, why should different versions of a multi-
part solution break a system, and the answer is they shouldn't, at least
not between minor versions and ideally all versions should be backwards
compatible for at least a few major versions.
Unison is a great program until you want to run it on different systems,
and let's face it, none of us want to build from source if there is a
compiled package already available. We don't always have a choice in
when different machines are upgraded, even updating might need a server
restart that you can't do until the weekend but the desktops are all
done the same day.
It's a fundamental design flaw. It should be backwardly compatible.
Software should ALWAYS be backwardly compatible within minor updates,
let alone major ones.
