We already have support in `git receive-pack` to deal with some legacy
repositories which have non-fatal issues.
Let's make `git fsck` itself useful with such repositories, too, by
allowing users to ignore known issues, or at least demote those issues
to mere warnings.
Example: `git -c fsck.severity=missing-email=ignore fsck` would hide
problems with missing emails in author, committer and tagger lines.
In the same spirit that `git receive-pack`'s usage of the fsck machinery
differs from `git fsck`'s – some of the non-fatal warnings in `git fsck`
are fatal with `git receive-pack` when receive.fsckObjects = true, for
example – we strictly separate the fsck.severity from the
receive.fsck.severity settings.

+fsck.severity::
+ A comma-separated lists of of the form `<id>=<level>` where `<id>`
+ denotes a fsck message ID such as `missing-email` and `<level>` is
+ one of `error`, `warn` and `ignore`.
++
+For convenience, fsck prefixes the error/warning with the message ID,

+This feature is intended to support working with legacy repositories
