So git is "safe" in the sense that you won't really lose any data,
but you may well be inconvenienced. The "fsync each object" config
option is there in case you don't want that inconvenience, but it
should be noted that it can make for a hell of a performance impact.

Of course, it might well be the case that the actual default
might be worth turning around. Most git users probably don't
care about that kind of "apply two hundred patches from Andrew
Morton" kind of workload, although "rebase a big patch-series"
does end up doing basically the same thing, and might be more
common.
This patch enables fsync_object_files by default.
Will this make nfs performance a lot worse or still within acceptable range?
