Just a user here, but I would prefer it if it didn't sync at all. If I
want to sync it, I will, or the operating system will handle it like it
does with all other file accesses.
Just my 2 cents.
I was just editing my backup script the other day and part of the problem
with it was that I was syncing too often. What I needed was a single
sync when everything was done.
This was possible because I was just doing copies and tars. It should be
possible with git too.

There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX.
We don't believe this to be a coincidence.
