`.` (a period) for branch.<name>.remote.
+branch.<name>.mergeoptions::
+ Sets default options for merging into branch <name>. The syntax and

+ option values containing whitespace characters are currently not
+ supported.

clean.requireForce::
A boolean to make git-clean do nothing unless given -f or -n. Defaults
to false.
algorithm used by 'git gc --aggressive'. This defaults
to 10.
+gc.auto::
+ When there are approximately more than this many loose
+ objects in the repository, `git gc --auto` will pack them.
+ Some Porcelain commands use this command to perform a
+ light-weight garbage collection from time to time. Setting
+ this to 0 disables it.
+
+gc.autopacklimit::
+ When there are more than this many packs that are not
+ marked with `*.keep` file in the repository, `git gc
+ --auto` consolidates them into one larger pack. Setting
+ this to 0 disables this.
+
gc.packrefs::
`git gc` does not run `git pack-refs` in a bare repository by
default so that older dumb-transport clients can still fetch
A value of 0 means no limit. Defaults to 0.

gitlink:git-pack-objects[1]. Defaults to 1000.
+pack.threads::
+ Specifies the number of threads to spawn when searching for best
+ delta matches. This requires that gitlink:git-pack-objects[1]
+ be compiled with pthreads otherwise this option is ignored with a
+ warning. This is meant to reduce packing time on multiprocessor
+ machines. The required amount of memory for the delta search window
+ is however multiplied by the number of threads.

pull.octopus::
The default merge strategy to use when pulling multiple branches
at once.
