I am no expert of git.  So I am not sure.

That being said, have you read those links in my report?  My point is
that the motivation of setting transfer.fsckObjects in [1], i.e.,
security, is made invalid in [2] because git is secure by default.
However, related commits are made before (and after) [2].
