Dear Russ,
I sent a patch to #547272 last month, about the version field name in control
data files. Since I was not mastering the git sorcery of patch sending, it
went without title and perhaps that is the reason it had no reaction. Would you
consider having a look at it? The current recommendation of using ‘Format:
1.5’ is really confusing.
In that patch I also added documentation for the new SHA field names, but
this has been obsoleted by your recent work. Please ignore that part.
Have a nice day,
