An integer -1..9, indicating a default compression level.
-1 is the zlib default. 0 means no compression,
and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9 being slowest.
+ If set, this provides a default to other compression variables,
+ such as 'core.loosecompression' and 'pack.compression'.
core.loosecompression::
An integer -1..9, indicating the compression level for objects that
are not in a pack file. -1 is the zlib default. 0 means no
compression, and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9 being
slowest. If not set, defaults to core.compression. If that is
- not set, defaults to 0 (best speed).
+ not set, defaults to 1 (best speed).
core.packedGitWindowSize::
Number of bytes of a pack file to map into memory in a
If this option is not given, `git fetch` defaults to remote "origin".
branch.<name>.merge::
- When in branch <name>, it tells `git fetch` the default refspec to
- be marked for merging in FETCH_HEAD. The value has exactly to match
- a remote part of one of the refspecs which are fetched from the remote
- given by "branch.<name>.remote".
+ When in branch <name>, it tells `git fetch` the default

+ handled like the remote part of a refspec, and must match a
+ ref which is fetched from the remote given by
+ "branch.<name>.remote".
The merge information is used by `git pull` (which at first calls
`git fetch`) to lookup the default branch for merging. Without
this option, `git pull` defaults to merge the first refspec fetched.
supported.
clean.requireForce::
- A boolean to make git-clean do nothing unless given -f or -n. Defaults
- to false.
+ A boolean to make git-clean do nothing unless given -f
+ or -n. Defaults to true.
color.branch::
A boolean to enable/disable color in the output of
pack from a push can make the push operation complete faster,
especially on slow filesystems.
+format.numbered::
+ A boolean which can enable sequence numbers in patch subjects.
+ Seting this option to "auto" will enable it only if there is
+ more than one patch. See --numbered option in
+ gitlink:git-format-patch[1].

format.headers::
Additional email headers to include in a patch to be submitted
by mail. See gitlink:git-format-patch[1].

- not set, defaults to -1.
+ not set, defaults to -1, the zlib default, which is "a default
+ compromise between speed and compression (currently equivalent
+ to level 6)."
pack.deltaCacheSize::
The maximum memory in bytes used for caching deltas in
machines. The required amount of memory for the delta search window
is however multiplied by the number of threads.
+pack.indexVersion::
+ Specify the default pack index version. Valid values are 1 for
+ legacy pack index used by Git versions prior to 1.5.2, and 2 for
+ the new pack index with capabilities for packs larger than 4 GB
+ as well as proper protection against the repacking of corrupted
+ packs. Version 2 is selected and this config option ignored
+ whenever the corresponding pack is larger than 2 GB. Otherwise
+ the default is 1.
+
pull.octopus::
The default merge strategy to use when pulling multiple branches
at once.
