Are you saying that clients connecting to untrusted servers already
face worse risks that people should know about, so there is no point in
documenting this one?  I guess I don't know about the other risks aside
from accepting a corrupt object, which should be preventable by
enabling fetch.fsckObjects.  It seems we need either a statement that
connecting to untrusted servers is officially unsupported or a
description of the specific risks.
