NO_PTHREADS can also be used even though the platform supports
multithread: to make keep git execution in a single core/thread. It
might matter on hosted systems with limited cpu power and you don't
want git to hog it all. Yes it can also be achieved by setting a
zillion config keys to "1", this way is just simpler.
