There is a group of configuration variables fsck.* to let you pass specific types of errors go without erroring out on them, and also fsck.skiplist lets you ignore errors on specific objects, but both need to ask people on the other side to flip them on.

I'd imagine that hosting providers can make it self-service for repository owners, though, but if they employ shared object store across repositories, it might become a bit cumbersome to implement correctly.
