From: Neeraj Singh <neerajsi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
This change introduces code to parse the core.fsync setting and
configure the fsync_components variable.
core.fsync is configured as a comma-separated list of component names to
sync. Each time a core.fsync variable is encountered in the
configuration heirarchy, we start off with a clean state with the
platform default value. Passing 'none' resets the value to indicate
nothing will be synced. We gather all negative and positive entries from
the comma separated list and then compute the new value by removing all
the negative entries and adding all of the positive entries.
We issue a warning for components that are not recognized so that the
configuration code is compatible with configs from future versions of
Git with more repo components.
Complete documentation for the new setting is included in a later patch
in the series so that it can be reviewed once in final form.
