The "trust_ctime ? check_stat : trust_ctime/*false*/" gave me the
same "Huh?" as it did to J6t, so I locally fixed them while
applying.

Also, even though we settled on "default/minimal", we may regret in
the future if old implementations died on an unrecognized value, as
that will forbid users from using an old Git and a new Git on the
same repository at the same time, so I'd suggest removing the "if
not default or minimal, die" and replacing it with "treat unknown
token as a do-no-harm no-op".

Interdiff would look like this.

Thanks.
