I am not saying it is a legitimate need.  I just wanted to make it
clear that we deliberately chose not to grant that wish in the
message.  An advice flag in this context means that the users can
choose to let their distro and sysadm to flip the default silently,
which is much worse than having to see the message every time they
start a new repository with "git init".
