gc.worktreePruneExpire::
When 'git gc' is run, it calls

Can be overridden by the `GIT_HTTP_USER_AGENT` environment variable.
+http.followRedirects::
+ Whether git should follow HTTP redirects. If set to `true`, git
+ will transparently follow any redirect issued by a server it
+ encounters. If set to `false`, git will treat all redirects as
+ errors. If set to `initial`, git will follow redirects only for
+ the initial request to a remote, but not for subsequent
+ follow-up HTTP requests. Since git uses the redirected URL as
+ the base for the follow-up requests, this is generally
+ sufficient. The default is `initial`.

http.<url>.*::
Any of the http.* options above can be applied selectively to some URLs.
For a config key to match a URL, each element of the config key is
