apply.whitespace::
Tells `git-apply` how to handle whitespaces, in the same way
as the '--whitespace' option. See gitlink:git-apply[1].
Use customized color for branch coloration. `<slot>` is one of
`current` (the current branch), `local` (a local branch),
`remote` (a tracking branch in refs/remotes/), `plain` (other
- refs), or `reset` (the normal terminal color). The value for
- these configuration variables can be one of: `normal`, `bold`,
- `dim`, `ul`, `blink`, `reverse`, `reset`, `black`, `red`,
- `green`, `yellow`, `blue`, `magenta`, `cyan`, or `white`.

+The value for these configuration variables is a list of colors (at most

+`magenta`, `cyan` and `white`; the attributes are `bold`, `dim`, `ul`,
+`blink` and `reverse`. The first color given is the foreground; the

color.diff::
When true (or `always`), always use colors in patch.

color.diff.<slot>::
- Use customized color for diff colorization. `<slot>`
- specifies which part of the patch to use the specified
- color, and is one of `plain` (context text), `meta`
- (metainformation), `frag` (hunk header), `old` (removed

color.pager::
A boolean to enable/disable colored output when the pager is in
will enable basic rename detection. If set to "copies" or
"copy", it will detect copies, as well.
+fetch.unpackLimit::
+ If the number of objects fetched over the git native
+ transfer is below this
+ limit, then the objects will be unpacked into loose object
+ files. However if the number of received objects equals or

+ especially on slow filesystems.

format.headers::
Additional email headers to include in a patch to be submitted
by mail. See gitlink:git-format-patch[1].
+gc.packrefs::
+ `git gc` does not run `git pack-refs` in a bare repository by
+ default so that older dumb-transport clients can still fetch
+ from the repository. Setting this to `true` lets `git
+ gc` to run `git pack-refs`. Setting this to `false` tells
+ `git gc` never to run `git pack-refs`. The default setting is
+ `notbare`. Enable it only when you know you do not have to
+ support such clients. The default setting will change to `true`
+ at some stage, and setting this to `false` will continue to
+ prevent `git pack-refs` from being run from `git gc`.

gc.reflogexpire::
`git reflog expire` removes reflog entries older than
this time; defaults to 90 days.
