That is much better description.  Also

	$ cd t && GIT_FORCE_PRELOAD_TEST=t ./t0000-basic.sh

would have allowed us to enable the feature in the older world, but
I suspect it would instead fail the test, saying 't is not a bool
nor int'.

So strictly speaking, it is a backward incompatible change.  I am
not sure if I like it.

s/existance/existence/?
