I'm not having luck with overriding the fsck message types (zeroPaddedFilemode specifically). I've tried adding
 [fsck]
    zeroPaddedFilemode = ignore
to both global and local configs, but it seems to have no effect:

  $ git --version
  git version 2.8.0
  $ git config --get fetch.fsckobjects
  true
  $ git config --get fsck.zeroPaddedFilemode
  ignore
  $ git pull
  remote: Counting objects: 14777, done.

  fatal: Error in object
  fatal: index-pack failed

Is this expected behavior and I'm doing something wrong? Thanks.

I think this is the same issue as

  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/288341

Perhaps some interested person could clean up the patch there (add some
tests) to make it more likely to get merged.
