Why does the help text for CONFIG_QFMT_V2 say `VFS v0 quota format support' and
not `VFS v2 quota format support'?

Ask Jan, that's the name he's been using all through the development of
the patch and in the quota tools.

At the beginning I started calling the original quota format 'old' and
the new one 'v0' (because in the quota file there's written 0 in the
version field ;)). If I did the decision now I would name it
differently...
In the code on the other hand I started naming the formats v1 and v2
because internal type identifiers are '1' and '2'.
So I agree that this is a bit messy but I'm not sure it's worth
renaming.
