It actually is not uncommon for a Git configuration variable to
start its life as a boolean and then later become tristate (or more)
as we gain experience with the system, so don't worry about it being
"strange".  A tristate, among whose choices two of them are true and
false, is not "strange" around here.

By "strange", I was referring to the possible perception issue on
having a choice other than yes/no for a configuration that allows
you to express your security preference.

Thanks.
