[Unison-hackers] unison major and minor version numbers (need > 2.17?)

[Benjamin Pierce]

Aha -- this could be very useful.  This is a known bug, but we have  
been having trouble making a repeatable example of it.

When you say "i sync A to a common, initially empty archive.  i then  
attempt to sync B to that same archive," do you mean that you are  
using *three* replicas, running unison between two pairs of them?   
(Unison uses the word "archive" for its own internal state that's  
stored between runs.)

What OS are you running on?  Linux?

Thanks,

   - Benjamin
