So this quote is definitely at odds with the configuration I have
proposed. It's actually quite surprising to me that we recommend deep
threading -- I personally find it extremely hard to navigate as the
nesting eventually gets way too deep.

Sorry I'm a little confused. The example thread at git-scm.com:

Isn't this actually supporting shallow nesting?

In my understanding, deep threading == --chain-reply-to, so can you
point out where do Git recommend deep threading? I always thought Git
supports shallow threading.

Thanks! And please forgive me if I am wrong :-)

Ah, I know you mean the deep nesting of cover letters, sorry, now I
know.

Thanks!
