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,
