This is correct. I don't remember what you have to disable to make a new repo safe for THG 1.0, but the easiest way to ensure conformity is to create the repo with the oldest version of THG that you care about. Note that the wire protocol is always version safe. Old clients can interact with new repos just fine via http(s) or ssh. -- Steve Borho ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
