What about including a version number somewhere in the repository ? The
idea whould be that hg stop with a warning if a repo has a version
number that it cannot handle (too much or too less).
  "hg cannot manage this repo : repo has version y, hg can manage
versions x,z. Look at the doc to see how to convert this repo"
  Automatic conversion (even if possible) is not a good thing : repo can
be used by several people with different client. Each conversion must be
requested explicitly by the user. However, some helper scripts can be
given to make the conversion easier.

  I know that changing internal repo format should be avoid as much as
possible, but sometimes it is needed (next time when symlinks will be
added ?) And having some kind of security here is a very good thing for
the user.

  Best,
    Vincent
