The problem doesn't exist on the client-side, but rather on the remote as indicated by the "remote: " prefix. So there's nothing you can do on the client-side to address the problem, you'll have to reach out to the admin of that repository and tell them that the repository uses an invalid value for "core.fsync".

It's "core.fsync" indeed, but not on your side. The config does not take a boolean, but rather a list of components that should use fsync. I guess the admin wanted to just fsync everything, but in that case you don't want "core.fsync=true" but "core.fsync=all".
