[PATCH] deprecate core.statinfo at Git 2.0 boundary

From: Junio C Hamano <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:57:09
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Possibly related (same subject, not in this thread)

c08e4d5b5cfa (Enable minimal stat checking, 2013-01-22) advertised
the configuration variable core.checkstat in the documentation and
its log message, but the code expected core.statinfo instead.

For now, add core.checkstat, and warn people who have core.statinfo
in their configuration file that we will remove it in Git 2.0.
