Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
This command displays the Borg client and server versions.
If a local repository is given, the client code directly accesses the repository,
so the client version is also shown as the server version.
If a remote repository is given (e.g., ssh:), the remote Borg is queried, and
its version is displayed as the server version.
Examples::
# local repository (client uses 1.4.0 alpha version)
$ borg version /mnt/backup
1.4.0a / 1.4.0a
# remote repository (client uses 1.4.0 alpha, server uses 1.2.7 release)
$ borg version ssh://borg@borgbackup:repo
1.4.0a / 1.2.7
Due to the version tuple format used in Borg client/server negotiation, only
a simplified version is displayed (as provided by borg.version.format_version).
You can also use ``borg --version`` to display a potentially more precise client version.
