But at least now it is clear from the strings that the feature is experimental and we have a way of versioning its semantics until it stabilizes.
  
  
  Note that the "narrow" and "ellipses" wire protocol capabilities were introduced earlier today (https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D4521), so no released version has them.
