                  option; it only defaults to off for backwards compatibility.

                  Verify that all the refs listed in a commit’s ref-bindings
                  point to that commit. This cannot be used in repositories
                  where the target of refs is changed over time as new commits
                  are added, but can be used in repositories which are
                  regenerated from scratch for each commit.
