Interesting. If I did not know Git at all, I would decide
completely opposite---because I have none of these now, I'm very
unlikely to have them in the future, so I would leave fsck.<msg-id>
alone to the generally recommended state (i.e. not customizing
without understanding what I am doing). That way, (1) if that
unlikely thing happens, I would notice and have a chance to deal
with it, and (2) otherwise, I wouldn't have to worry about that
unlikely event at all.
And that decision would not change even if I _knew_ these knobs'
categories were invented to align with bugs and anomalies in older
implementations of Git.
