Re: [tor-dev] Git users, enable fsck by default!

The tl;dr here is:

• By default Git doesn't verify the sha1 checksums it receives by default.
• It doesn't look like we've got any inconsistencies in our

repositories I use, though. That's good!

• To turn on verification, I think you run:

git config --add  transfer.fsckobjects true
git config --add  fetch.fsckobjects true
git config --add  receive.fsckobjects true

I suspect that setting things globally (in your ~/.gitconfig) git config --global --add transfer.fsckobjects true git config --global --add fetch.fsckobjects true git config --global --add receive.fsckobjects true might also work. (However, I haven't verified it.)
