Maybe we should be checking the server version, which would allow to
produce more useful error messages when these options are used against
older servers, like
if (sversion < 10000)
fprintf(stderr, "cannot use --partitions/--partitions-method
against servers older than 10");
We would also have to check that partition-method=hash is not used against v10.
Maybe overkill?
Thanks,
Amit
