Comment 13 for bug 1140597

This is only the check at client startup that checks the client state file.

The actual communication is done in
client/current_version.cpp: 30
GET_CURRENT_VERSION_OP::do_rpc()

this is called only once in the same file at line 138. Commenting this line should prevent communication and never insert a new version into the client state file. I reviewed the code and an empty value poses no thread to the other functions.

You can also comment out
client/scheduler_op.cpp:132 as this calls new_version_check() in the beginning.
