From: Chandra Pratap <chandrapratap3519@xxxxxxxxx> Among Git's environment variable, the ones marked as "Boolean" accept values in a way similar to Boolean configuration variables, i.e. values like 'yes', 'on', 'true' and positive numbers are taken as "on" and values like 'no', 'off', 'false' are taken as "off". GIT_FLUSH can be used to force Git to use non-buffered I/O when writing to stdout. It can only accept two values, '1' which causes Git to flush more often and '0' which makes all output buffered. Make GIT_FLUSH accept more values besides '0' and '1' by turning it into a Boolean environment variable, modifying the required logic. Update the related documentation.
