That's not a fair complaint.

It is often very hard to document that "we do not do X", because the line
to stop at becomes fuzzier as you try to do more thorough job.  We do not
warn on empty ident, we do not warn on typos in commit log messages, we do
not warn on empty blob, we do not warn on ...  You get the idea.
