In this syntax, subsection names follow the same restrictions as for section
names.
-All the other lines are recognized as setting variables, in the form
+All the other lines (and the remainder of the line after the section
+header) are recognized as setting variables, in the form
'name = value'. If there is no equal sign on the line, the entire line
is taken as 'name' and the variable is recognized as boolean "true".
The variable names are case-insensitive and only alphanumeric
Use customized color for 'git-add --interactive'
output. `<slot>` may be `prompt`, `header`, `help` or `error`, for
four distinct types of normal output from interactive
- programs. The values of these variables may be specified as
+ commands. The values of these variables may be specified as
in color.branch.<slot>.

variable.
+http.sslCertPasswordProtected::
+ Enable git's password prompt for the SSL certificate. Otherwise
+ OpenSSL will prompt the user, possibly many times, if the
+ certificate or private key is encrypted. Can be overridden by the

http.sslCAInfo::
File containing the certificates to verify the peer with when
fetching or pushing over HTTPS. Can be overridden by the
linkgit:git-instaweb[1].

input with a single key (i.e., without hitting enter).

+ This cache is used to speed up the writing object phase by not
+ having to recompute the final delta result once the best match
+ for all objects is found. Repacking large repositories on machines
+ which are tight with memory might be badly impacted by this though,
+ especially if this cache pushes the system into swapping.

The maximum size of a delta, that is cached in

`$GIT_DIR`, but can be disabled by setting this option to false.
+sendemail.identity::
+ A configuration identity. When given, causes values in the
