Description
When setting TFile.v630forwardCompatibility to true in /etc/root/system.rootrc, there is still confusing behavior and new files can be written without compability. In particular, new files are not opened in compatibility mode (largely limiting the usefulness of the configuration flag).
Reproducer
gEnv->GetValue("TFile.v630forwardCompatibility", 0)
TFile file1 = TFile("file1.root","CREATE")
file1.TestBit(TFile::k630forwardCompatibility)
file1.Close()
TFile file2 = TFile("file1.root","READ")
file2.TestBit(TFile::k630forwardCompatibility)
file2.Close()
TFile* file3 = TFile::Open("file3.root","CREATE")
file3->TestBit(TFile::k630forwardCompatibility)
file3->Close()
TFile* file4 = TFile::Open("file3.root","READ")
file4->TestBit(TFile::k630forwardCompatibility)
file4->Close()
