[11/11] repo-settings: fetch.showForcedUpdates=false

Commit Message

From: Derrick Stolee <[e-mail]>

When a repo has many active contributors, the commit history can
grow very quickly and there can be many branches. During 'git fetch',
after downloading the pack from the remote, the default behavior
checks each remote ref for a forced update. This presents a
somewhat quadratic performance hit, as the time it takes to walk these
commits can be on the order of the number of branches times the
"commit velocity" per branch.

Set fetch.showForcedUpdates=false when core.size=large to enable
the --no-show-forced-updates option by default for fetch and pull
commands.
