I have slight preference to "if the user says 'default', hold onto it as a symbolic 'default' setting, and resolve it to a concrete value at the very end" pattern, which tends to handle the "reverting to default" case better. There is the "manyfiles" precedent that sets index.version and core.untrackedCache irreversibly nearby, and I am sympathetic to whoever added the fetch_negotiation_algorithm support (it probably is not you, I am guessing) by mimicking it, so I am OK with the version posted as-is. Thanks.
