perhaps 'interoperable' rather than 'compatible', I think compatible
gives the impression that e.g. 0.91 may read it.

Rather than 'Incompatible' perhaps 'Interoperates with bzr repositories
before 0.92 but cannot be read by bzr before 0.92'

Hmm I think "Bazaar pack repository format 1 (needs bzr 0.92.)\n" might
be slightly clearer.

And "Bazaar pack repository format 1 with subtree support (needs bzr
0.92.)\n"

Finally, please file a bug that info should note both deprecated and
experimental formats in its output.
