Just a user here, but I would prefer it if it didn't sync at all.  If I 
want to sync it, I will, or the operating system will handle it like it 
does with all other file accesses.  

Just my 2 cents. 

I was just editing my backup script the other day and part of the problem 
with it was that I was syncing too often.  What I needed was a single 
sync when everything was done.  

This was possible because I was just doing copies and tars.  It should be 
possible with git too.

  There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX.
  We don't believe this to be a coincidence.
