expect HEAD to be a symbolic link.
core.logAllRefUpdates::
- If true, `git-update-ref` will append a line to
- "$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref>" listing the new SHA1 and the date/time
- of the update. If the file does not exist it will be
- created automatically. This information can be used to
- determine what commit was the tip of a branch "2 days ago".
- This value is false by default (no logging).
+ Updates to a ref <ref> is logged to the file
+ "$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref>", by appending the new and old
+ SHA1, the date/time and the reason of the update, but
+ only when the file exists. If this configuration
+ variable is set to true, missing "$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref>"
+ file is automatically created for branch heads.
+
+ This information can be used to determine what commit
+ was the tip of a branch "2 days ago". This value is
+ false by default (no automated creation of log files).
core.repositoryFormatVersion::
Internal variable identifying the repository format and layout
browser (and possibly at other places in the future or in other
porcelains). See e.g. gitlink:git-mailinfo[1]. Defaults to 'utf-8'.
+log.showroot::
+ If true, the initial commit will be shown as a big creation event.
+ This is equivalent to a diff against an empty tree.
+ Tools like gitlink:git-log[1] or gitlink:git-whatchanged[1], which
+ normally hide the root commit will now show it. True by default.
+
merge.summary::
Whether to include summaries of merged commits in newly created
merge commit messages. False by default.
pull.twohead::
The default merge strategy to use when pulling a single branch.
+remote.<name>.url::
+ The URL of a remote repository. See gitlink:git-fetch[1] or
+ gitlink:git-push[1].
+
+remote.<name>.fetch::
+ The default set of "refspec" for gitlink:git-fetch[1]. See
+ gitlink:git-fetch[1].
+
+remote.<name>.push::
+ The default set of "refspec" for gitlink:git-push[1]. See
+ gitlink:git-push[1].
+
+repack.usedeltabaseoffset::
+ Allow gitlink:git-repack[1] to create packs that uses
+ delta-base offset. Defaults to false.
+
show.difftree::
The default gitlink:git-diff-tree[1] arguments to be used
for gitlink:git-show[1].
The configuration variables in the 'imap' section are described
in gitlink:git-imap-send[1].
-receive.denyNonFastforwads::
+receive.unpackLimit::
+ If the number of objects received in a push is below this
+ limit then the objects will be unpacked into loose object
+ files. However if the number of received objects equals or
+ exceeds this limit then the received pack will be stored as
+ a pack, after adding any missing delta bases. Storing the
+ pack from a push can make the push operation complete faster,
+ especially on slow filesystems.
+
+receive.denyNonFastForwards::
If set to true, git-receive-pack will deny a ref update which is
not a fast forward. Use this to prevent such an update via a push,
even if that push is forced. This configuration variable is
