Whoops. Fresh install of 0.7 Alpha on Windows 10

Sorry to be dense, but where should I file a report on this?  
I know Pkg3 is the proper solution now, how should I use it please?

Exit Julia, start it again, and just do `using Pkg`.

If you start by using `Pkg.add` it uses the deprecated one (`Base.Pkg`) and then when you call `using Pkg` in the same session, the symbols clash (two `Pkg`).

Thankyou. Exiting and restarting worked.  
I think the error message is confusing.
