Rather than talk about when it does _not_ matter, wouldn't it be better to
talk about when it _can_ matter?
Namely when using dumb protocols, either http or rsync, with the other end
being some ancient git thing (and it is worth mentioning version of what
counts as 'ancient' too, I can't remember, probably means that pretty much
nobody else can either).
