When false, file names are handled fully transparent by Git,
which is backward compatible with older versions of Git.
+core.protectHFS::
+ If set to true, do not allow checkout of paths that would
+ be considered equivalent to `.git` on an HFS+ filesystem.
+ Defaults to `true` on Mac OS, and `false` elsewhere.
+
+core.protectNTFS::
+ If set to true, do not allow checkout of paths that would
+ cause problems with the NTFS filesystem, e.g. conflict with
+ 8.3 "short" names.
+ Defaults to `true` on Windows, and `false` elsewhere.

core.trustctime::
If false, the ctime differences between the index and the
working tree are ignored; useful when the inode change time
proxy use, while defaulting to a common proxy for external domains.
core.ignoreStat::
- If true, commands which modify both the working tree and the index
- will mark the updated paths with the "assume unchanged" bit in the
- index. These marked files are then assumed to stay unchanged in the
- working tree, until you mark them otherwise manually - Git will not
- detect the file changes by lstat() calls. This is useful on systems
- where those are very slow, such as Microsoft Windows.
- See linkgit:git-update-index[1].
- False by default.
+ If true, Git will avoid using lstat() calls to detect if files have
+ changed by setting the "assume-unchanged" bit for those tracked files
+ which it has updated identically in both the index and working tree.
++
+When files are modified outside of Git, the user will need to stage
+the modified files explicitly (e.g. see 'Examples' section in
+linkgit:git-update-index[1]).
+Git will not normally detect changes to those files.
++
+This is useful on systems where lstat() calls are very slow, such as
+CIFS/Microsoft Windows.

+False by default.
core.preferSymlinkRefs::
Instead of the default "symref" format for HEAD
`magenta`, `cyan` and `white`; the attributes are `bold`, `dim`, `ul`,
`blink` and `reverse`. The first color given is the foreground; the
second is the background. The position of the attribute, if any,
-doesn't matter.
+doesn't matter. Attributes may be turned off specifically by prefixing
+them with `no` (e.g., `noreverse`, `noul`, etc).
++
+Colors (foreground and background) may also be given as numbers between
+0 and 255; these use ANSI 256-color mode (but note that not all
+terminals may support this). If your terminal supports it, you may also
+specify 24-bit RGB values as hex, like `#ff0ab3`.
color.diff::
Whether to use ANSI escape sequences to add color to patches.
print a warning of such a push to stderr, but allow the push to
proceed. If set to false or "ignore", allow such pushes with no
message. Defaults to "refuse".
++
+Another option is "updateInstead" which will update the working
+directory (must be clean) if pushing into the current branch. This option is
+intended for synchronizing working directories when one side is not easily
+accessible via interactive ssh (e.g. a live web site, hence the requirement
+that the working directory be clean). This mode also comes in handy when
+developing inside a VM to test and fix code on different Operating Systems.
