I think that the best user experience would probably be if git were fast by
default without having to give up on (future) security by removing the sha1
collision check.  Maybe core.checkCollisons could default to "on" only when
there's no loose objects in the repository? That would give a fast experience
for many common cases (git clone, git init && git fetch) while still doing the
collision check when relevant.

My patch used the --cloning flag as an approximation of "no loose objects".
Maybe a better option would be to check for the non-existence of the [00-ff]
directories under .git/objects.
