Well, if it was _that_ important, I'd go for your suggestion of a
message hierarchy message.advice.foo, message.info.bar and so, with
the possibility of enabling/disabling a subhierarchy with a config
option. Now, I really get the feeling that this is overkill...

Yup, you convinced me for the last implication.
Otherwise, one setting "message.all = false" would never even notice
that another very cool informative message was added to Git in its
latest version.
