[PATCH 02/11] repo-settings: use index.version=4 by default

["Derrick Stolee via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@xxxxxxxxx>]

From: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

If a repo is large, it likely has many paths in its working directory.
This means the index could be compressed using version 4. Set this as
a default when core.size=large.
