core.autocrlf::
If true, makes git convert `CRLF` at the end of lines in text files to
- `LF` when reading from the filesystem, and convert in reverse when
- writing to the filesystem. The variable can be set to
+ `LF` when reading from the work tree, and convert in reverse when
+ writing to the work tree. The variable can be set to
'input', in which case the conversion happens only while
- reading from the filesystem but files are written out with
- `LF` at the end of lines. A file is considered
+ reading from the work tree but files are written out to the work
+ tree with `LF` at the end of lines. A file is considered
"text" (i.e. be subjected to the autocrlf mechanism) based on
the file's `crlf` attribute, or if `crlf` is unspecified,
based on the file's contents. See linkgit:gitattributes[5].
core.notesRef::
When showing commit messages, also show notes which are stored in

-If such a file exists in the given ref, the referenced blob is read, and

Command aliases for the linkgit:git[1] command wrapper - e.g.
executed from the top-level directory of a repository, which may
not necessarily be the current directory.

+ If true, git-am will call git-mailsplit for patches in mbox format
+ with parameter '--keep-cr'. In this case git-mailsplit will
+ not remove `\r` from lines ending with `\r\n`. Can be overrriden
+ by giving '--no-keep-cr' from the command line.
