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.)
You only need the first (transfer.fsckobjects). According to both the thread and git's man page the other two adopt its value ("If not set, the value of transfer.fsckObjects is used instead.").
