If true, Git will warn you if the ref name you passed it is ambiguous
- and might match multiple refs in the .git/refs/ tree. True by default.

An integer -1..9, indicating a default compression level.

This is currently the default, but Git 2.0 will change the default

-* `upstream` - push the current branch to its upstream branch.
+* `upstream` - push the current branch to its upstream branch
+ (`tracking` is a deprecated synonym for this).
With this, `git push` will update the same remote ref as the one which
is merged by `git pull`, making `push` and `pull` symmetrical.
See "branch.<name>.merge" for how to configure the upstream branch.

set when initializing a shared repository.

+ String(s) `receive-pack` uses to decide which refs to omit

If set to true, git-receive-pack will run git-update-server-info
after receiving data from git-push and updating refs.

Defaults to false.

transfer.unpackLimit::
When `fetch.unpackLimit` or `receive.unpackLimit` are

The default value is 100.

+uploadpack.allowtipsha1inwant::
+ When `uploadpack.hiderefs` is in effect, allow `upload-pack`
