-There is no obvious means of using
-".be/version"/"libbe.bugdir.TREE_VERSION_STRING". In the past I've
-worked around this by keeping all the disk-reading backwards
-compatible (e.g. homemade mapfile -> YAML, the "From" hack in
-libbe.comment.Comment.load_settings, possibly others). However, this
-is not the road to easily maintainable code.

-Most projects only need to maintain backwards compatibility with the
-last few versions of their disk cache, to allow users an easy upgrade
-path. The difficulties come with "be diff", which must be able to
-read _every_ disk-image of the bugdir ever committed into something
-comparible with the current cutting edge. This makes sweeping changes
-very difficult. VCSs themselves avoid this by never showing their
-disk-cache to another program, but we've shown ours to the VCS, and
-it's difficult (or impossible, depending on the VCS) to change history
-to match the current format.
