the working copy are ignored; useful on broken filesystems like FAT.
See gitlink:git-update-index[1]. True by default.
+core.autocrlf::
+ If true, makes git convert `CRLF` at the end of lines in text files to
+ `LF` when reading from the filesystem, and convert in reverse when
+ writing to the filesystem. The variable can be set to
+ 'input', in which case the conversion happens only while
+ reading from the filesystem but files are written out with
+ `LF` at the end of lines. Currently, which paths to consider
+ "text" (i.e. be subjected to the autocrlf mechanism) is
+ decided purely based on the contents.
+
core.symlinks::
If false, symbolic links are checked out as small plain files that
contain the link text. gitlink:git-update-index[1] and
+
Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
+core.deltaBaseCacheLimit::
+ Maximum number of bytes to reserve for caching base objects
+ that multiple deltafied objects reference. By storing the
+ entire decompressed base objects in a cache Git is able
+ to avoid unpacking and decompressing frequently used base
+ objects multiple times.
++
+Default is 16 MiB on all platforms. This should be reasonable
+for all users/operating systems, except on the largest projects.
+You probably do not need to adjust this value.

+Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
+
+core.excludeFile::
+ In addition to '.gitignore' (per-directory) and
+ '.git/info/exclude', git looks into this file for patterns
+ of files which are not meant to be tracked.
+
alias.*::
Command aliases for the gitlink:git[1] command wrapper - e.g.
after defining "alias.last = cat-file commit HEAD", the invocation
Tells `git-apply` how to handle whitespaces, in the same way
as the '--whitespace' option. See gitlink:git-apply[1].
+branch.autosetupmerge::
+ Tells `git-branch` and `git-checkout` to setup new branches
+ so that gitlink:git-pull[1] will appropriately merge from that
+ remote branch. Note that even if this option is not set,
+ this behavior can be chosen per-branch using the `--track`
+ and `--no-track` options. This option defaults to false.
+
branch.<name>.remote::
When in branch <name>, it tells `git fetch` which remote to fetch.
If this option is not given, `git fetch` defaults to remote "origin".
The default is 15 days. See gitlink:git-rerere[1].
gitcvs.enabled::
- Whether the cvs pserver interface is enabled for this repository.
+ Whether the cvs server interface is enabled for this repository.

+ Path to a log file where the cvs server interface well... logs
various stuff. See gitlink:git-cvsserver[1].
+gitcvs.allbinary::
+ If true, all files are sent to the client in mode '-kb'. This
+ causes the client to treat all files as binary files which suppresses
+ any newline munging it otherwise might do. A work-around for the
+ fact that there is no way yet to set single files to mode '-kb'.
+ See gitlink:git-cvsserver[1].

http.sslVerify::
Whether to verify the SSL certificate when fetching or pushing
over HTTPS. Can be overridden by the 'GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY' environment
http.noEPSV::
A boolean which disables using of EPSV ftp command by curl.
- This can helpful with some "poor" ftp servers which doesn't
+ This can helpful with some "poor" ftp servers which don't
support EPSV mode. Can be overridden by the 'GIT_CURL_FTP_NO_EPSV'
environment variable. Default is false (curl will use EPSV).
merge.tool::
Controls which merge resolution program is used by
gitlink:git-mergetool[l]. Valid values are: "kdiff3", "tkdiff",
- "meld", "xxdiff", "emerge", "vimdiff"
+ "meld", "xxdiff", "emerge", "vimdiff", and "opendiff"
merge.verbosity::
Controls the amount of output shown by the recursive merge
