+'GIT_TRACE_PACKFILE'::
+ Enables tracing of packfiles sent or received by a

+ verbatim: no headers, and no quoting of binary data. You almost

'GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE'::
Enables performance related trace messages, e.g. total execution
time of each Git command.
cloning of shallow repositories.
See 'GIT_TRACE' for available trace output options.
-GIT_LITERAL_PATHSPECS::
+'GIT_LITERAL_PATHSPECS'::
Setting this variable to `1` will cause Git to treat all
pathspecs literally, rather than as glob patterns. For example,
running `GIT_LITERAL_PATHSPECS=1 git log -- '*.c'` will search
literal paths to Git (e.g., paths previously given to you by
`git ls-tree`, `--raw` diff output, etc).
-GIT_GLOB_PATHSPECS::
+'GIT_GLOB_PATHSPECS'::
Setting this variable to `1` will cause Git to treat all
pathspecs as glob patterns (aka "glob" magic).
-GIT_NOGLOB_PATHSPECS::
+'GIT_NOGLOB_PATHSPECS'::
Setting this variable to `1` will cause Git to treat all
pathspecs as literal (aka "literal" magic).
-GIT_ICASE_PATHSPECS::
+'GIT_ICASE_PATHSPECS'::
Setting this variable to `1` will cause Git to treat all
pathspecs as case-insensitive.
variable when it is invoked as the top level command by the
end user, to be recorded in the body of the reflog.
-`GIT_REF_PARANOIA`::
+'GIT_REF_PARANOIA'::
If set to `1`, include broken or badly named refs when iterating
over lists of refs. In a normal, non-corrupted repository, this
does nothing. However, enabling it may help git to detect and
an operation has touched every ref (e.g., because you are
cloning a repository to make a backup).
-`GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL`::
+'GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL'::
If set, provide a colon-separated list of protocols which are
allowed to be used with fetch/push/clone. This is useful to
restrict recursive submodule initialization from an untrusted
