core.worktree::
- Set the path to the root of the work tree.

This can be overridden by the GIT_WORK_TREE environment
variable and the '--work-tree' command line option. It can be
- an absolute path or a relative path to the .git directory,
- either specified by --git-dir or GIT_DIR, or automatically
- discovered.

core.logAllRefUpdates::
Enable the reflog. Updates to a ref <ref> is logged to the file
part of the line terminator, i.e. with it, `trailing-space`

is not a whitespace (not enabled by default).

core.fsyncobjectfiles::
This boolean will enable 'fsync()' when writing object files.
