Yes, in theory the process=20 could be abused by an overenthusiastic script, but that is true for=20 everything else the script does. In practice it's a win to run Git in=20 way suitable for Emacs development, just as it's a win to run Autoconf=20 and Automake in a way suitable for Emacs development. > There is nothing Emacs-specific on those settings Each of those settings is there to support Emacs development. It is true=20 that other projects could use similar settings. For example, another=20 project could also check that commit messages be in UTF-8. However, such=20 a check is not appropriate for Git in general, as Git supports=20 developers who use non-UTF-8 encodings for their commit messages. So we=20 can't rely on vanilla Git to check that commit messages use UTF-8.
