proxy use, while defaulting to a common proxy for external domains.
core.ignoreStat::
- If true, commands which modify both the working tree and the index
- will mark the updated paths with the "assume unchanged" bit in the
- index. These marked files are then assumed to stay unchanged in the
- working tree, until you mark them otherwise manually - Git will not
- detect the file changes by lstat() calls. This is useful on systems
- where those are very slow, such as Microsoft Windows.
- See linkgit:git-update-index[1].
- False by default.
+ If true, Git will avoid using lstat() calls to detect if files have
+ changed by setting the "assume-unchanged" bit for those tracked files
+ which it has updated identically in both the index and working tree.
++
+When files are modified outside of Git, the user will need to stage
+the modified files explicitly (e.g. see 'Examples' section in
+linkgit:git-update-index[1]).
+Git will not normally detect changes to those files.
++
+This is useful on systems where lstat() calls are very slow, such as
+CIFS/Microsoft Windows.
++
+False by default.
core.preferSymlinkRefs::
Instead of the default "symref" format for HEAD
for abbreviated object names to stay unique for sufficiently long
time.
-add.ignore-errors::
add.ignoreErrors::
+add.ignore-errors (deprecated)::
Tells 'git add' to continue adding files when some files cannot be
added due to indexing errors. Equivalent to the '--ignore-errors'
- option of linkgit:git-add[1]. Older versions of Git accept only
- `add.ignore-errors`, which does not follow the usual naming
- convention for configuration variables. Newer versions of Git
- honor `add.ignoreErrors` as well.
+ option of linkgit:git-add[1]. `add.ignore-errors` is deprecated,
+ as it does not follow the usual naming convention for configuration
+ variables.
alias.*::
Command aliases for the linkgit:git[1] command wrapper - e.g.
If true, makes linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1], and
linkgit:git-whatchanged[1] assume `--use-mailmap`.
+mailinfo.scissors::
+ If true, makes linkgit:git-mailinfo[1] (and therefore
+ linkgit:git-am[1]) act by default as if the --scissors option
+ was provided on the command-line. When active, this features
+ removes everything from the message body before a scissors
+ line (i.e. consisting mainly of ">8", "8<" and "-").
+
mailmap.file::
The location of an augmenting mailmap file. The default
mailmap, located in the root of the repository, is loaded
true. You should not generally need to turn this off unless
you are debugging pack bitmaps.
-pack.writebitmaps::
+pack.writebitmaps (deprecated)::
This is a deprecated synonym for `repack.writeBitmaps`.
pack.writeBitmapHashCache::
See linkgit:git-send-email[1] for description. Note that this
setting is not subject to the 'identity' mechanism.
-sendemail.smtpssl::
+sendemail.smtpssl (deprecated)::
Deprecated alias for 'sendemail.smtpencryption = ssl'.
sendemail.smtpsslcertpath::
sendemail.xmailer::
See linkgit:git-send-email[1] for description.
-sendemail.signedoffcc::
+sendemail.signedoffcc (deprecated)::
Deprecated alias for 'sendemail.signedoffbycc'.
