As I recall the auto-upgrade that we used before 1.7 only happened on
write operations, not on read-only operations like status, while the
current SQLite auto-upgrade happens on both read-only and write
operations. That pre-1.7 behaviour means that when a working copy is
auto-upgraded it is more likely to be concious action by the user. It
is probably more difficult to implement such a scheme with the SQLite
code.
