It is unclear from this description alone why this is needed. The
seller of this change needs to emphasize how this is better than
setting the variable to "0" (do not autocorrect). My guess is that
some users do not even need the suggestion of correct spelling when
they made a typo?

This is one reason. Another is that spell checking can be
computationally expensive, and take an annoyingly long time on low-end
devices.

Both are good reasons to describe in the log message, so that the
next reader of "git log" won't have to ask "why?"
