This revision is the client-side magic:
r1570936 | stefan2 | 2014-02-22 22:27:06 +0000 (Sat, 22 Feb 2014) | 10 lines
Fix the blame -g implemenation to no longer depend on false positives
in the file contents change detection.
A 1.8 server works with all clients whether they have the fix or not. A
1.9 server only works when the client has the fix.
That client-side fix is only in 1.9, so at the moment, only 1.9 clients
work with 1.9 servers.
