See linkgit:git-update-index[1]. `keep` by default.
core.checkStat::
- Determines which stat fields to match between the index
- and work tree. The user can set this to 'default' or
- 'minimal'. Default (or explicitly 'default'), is to check
- all fields, including the sub-second part of mtime and ctime.
+ When missing or is set to `default`, many fields in the stat
+ structure are checked to detect if a file has been modified
+ since Git looked at it. When this configuration variable is
+ set to `minimal`, sub-second part of mtime and ctime, the
+ uid and gid of the owner of the file, the inode number (and
+ the device number, if Git was compiled to use it), are
+ excluded from the check among these fields, leaving only the
+ whole-second part of mtime (and ctime, if `core.trustCtime`
+ is set) and the filesize to be checked.
++
+There are implementations of Git that do not leave usable values in
+some fields (e.g. JGit); by excluding these fields from the
+comparison, the `minimal` mode may help interoperability when the
+same repository is used by these other systems at the same time.
core.quotePath::
Commands that output paths (e.g. 'ls-files', 'diff'), will
This setting defaults to "refs/notes/commits", and it can be overridden by
the `GIT_NOTES_REF` environment variable. See linkgit:git-notes[1].

- for details.
+core.commitGraph::
+ If true, then git will read the commit-graph file (if it exists)

core.useReplaceRefs::
If set to `false`, behave as if the `--no-replace-objects`

branch.autoSetupMerge::
Tells 'git branch' and 'git checkout' to set up new branches
so that linkgit:git-pull[1] will appropriately merge from the
branch to track another branch.
This option defaults to never.
+branch.sort::
+ This variable controls the sort ordering of branches when displayed by
+ linkgit:git-branch[1]. Without the "--sort=<value>" option provided, the
+ value of this variable will be used as the default.
+ See linkgit:git-for-each-ref[1] field names for valid values.
+
branch.<name>.remote::

color.advice.hint::
Use customized color for hints.
+color.blame.highlightRecent::
+ This can be used to color the metadata of a blame line depending
+ on age of the line.
++
+This setting should be set to a comma-separated list of color and date settings,
+starting and ending with a color, the dates should be set from oldest to newest.
+The metadata will be colored given the colors if the the line was introduced
+before the given timestamp, overwriting older timestamped colors.

+Instead of an absolute timestamp relative timestamps work as well, e.g.
+2.weeks.ago is valid to address anything older than 2 weeks.
++
+It defaults to 'blue,12 month ago,white,1 month ago,red', which colors
+everything older than one year blue, recent changes between one month and
+one year old are kept white, and lines introduced within the last month are
+colored red.
+
+color.blame.repeatedLines::
+ Use the customized color for the part of git-blame output that

color.branch::
A boolean to enable/disable color in the output of
linkgit:git-branch[1]. May be set to `always`,
'git-diff-{asterisk}' plumbing commands. Can be overridden on the

-diff.colorMoved::
- If set to either a valid `<mode>` or a true value, moved lines
- in a diff are colored differently, for details of valid modes
- see '--color-moved' in linkgit:git-diff[1]. If simply set to
- true the default color mode will be used. When set to false,
- moved lines are not colored.

-diff.colorMovedWS::
- When moved lines are colored using e.g. the `diff.colorMoved` setting,
- this option controls the `<mode>` how spaces are treated
