Well, if it was _that_ important, I'd go for your suggestion of a message hierarchy message.advice.foo, message.info.bar and so, with the possibility of enabling/disabling a subhierarchy with a config option. Now, I really get the feeling that this is overkill...

Otherwise, one setting "message.all = false" would never even notice that another very cool informative message was added to Git in its latest version.
