only when the file exists. If this configuration
variable is set to true, missing "$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref>"
file is automatically created for branch heads.

core.repositoryFormatVersion::
Internal variable identifying the repository format and layout
database directly (where the "http://" and "rsync://" protocols
count as direct access).
+core.packedGitWindowSize::
+ Number of bytes of a pack file to map into memory in a
+ single mapping operation. Larger window sizes may allow
+ your system to process a smaller number of large pack files
+ more quickly. Smaller window sizes will negatively affect
+ performance due to increased calls to the operating system's
+ memory manager, but may improve performance when accessing
+ a large number of large pack files.
++
+Default is 1 MiB if NO_MMAP was set at compile time, otherwise 32
+MiB on 32 bit platforms and 1 GiB on 64 bit platforms. This should
+be reasonable for all users/operating systems. You probably do
+not need to adjust this value.
++
+Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
+
+core.packedGitLimit::
+ Maximum number of bytes to map simultaneously into memory
+ from pack files. If Git needs to access more than this many
+ bytes at once to complete an operation it will unmap existing
+ regions to reclaim virtual address space within the process.
++
+Default is 256 MiB on 32 bit platforms and 8 GiB on 64 bit platforms.
+This should be reasonable for all users/operating systems, except on
+the largest projects. You probably do not need to adjust this value.

alias.*::
Command aliases for the gitlink:git[1] command wrapper - e.g.
after defining "alias.last = cat-file commit HEAD", the invocation
this option, `git pull` defaults to merge the first refspec fetched.
Specify multiple values to get an octopus merge.
+color.branch::
+ A boolean to enable/disable color in the output of
+ gitlink:git-branch[1]. May be set to `true` (or `always`),
+ `false` (or `never`) or `auto`, in which case colors are used
+ only when the output is to a terminal. Defaults to false.
+
+color.branch.<slot>::
+ 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`.
+
color.diff::
When true (or `always`), always use colors in patch.
When false (or `never`), never. When set to `auto`, use
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
- lines), or `new` (added lines). The value for these
- configuration variables can be one of: `normal`, `bold`,

- `white`.
+ lines), or `new` (added lines). The values of these
+ variables may be specified as in color.branch.<slot>.
color.pager::
A boolean to enable/disable colored output when the pager is in
`added` or `updated` (files which are added but not committed),
`changed` (files which are changed but not added in the index),
or `untracked` (files which are not tracked by git). The values of
- these variables may be specified as in color.diff.<slot>.
+ these variables may be specified as in color.branch.<slot>.
diff.renameLimit::
The number of files to consider when performing the copy/rename
browser (and possibly at other places in the future or in other
porcelains). See e.g. gitlink:git-mailinfo[1]. Defaults to 'utf-8'.
+i18n.logOutputEncoding::
+ Character encoding the commit messages are converted to when
+ running `git-log` and friends.
+
log.showroot::
If true, the initial commit will be shown as a big creation event.
This is equivalent to a diff against an empty tree.
