[Qgis-developer] configuration lost when running 2.0

[Sandro Santilli]

I was surprised by not finding my postgresql connections in the pull-down
menu when starting qgis-2.0 (master) from the build dir. I'm pretty sure
it used to work last time I'v built it.

NathanW told me this is due to a change in the configuration path, from
.qgis to .qgis2, and I'm wondering why this forced reset is needed.

I don't know what else is in those configs, but this specific setting
I'm after is really annoying to loose. It'd be like loosing bookmarks 
when upgrading a web browser from one version to another.

So, what's the rationale for changing that name, thus using a completely
separate configuration ?
