Default is 512 MiB on all platforms. This should be reasonable

you are debugging pack bitmaps.
pack.writebitmaps::
- When true, git will write a bitmap index when packing all
- objects to disk (e.g., when `git repack -a` is run). This
- index can speed up the "counting objects" phase of subsequent
- packs created for clones and fetches, at the cost of some disk
- space and extra time spent on the initial repack. Defaults to
- false.
+ This is a deprecated synonym for `repack.writeBitmaps`.
pack.writeBitmapHashCache::
When true, git will include a "hash cache" section in the bitmap
receiving data from git-push and updating refs. You can stop
it by setting this variable to false.
+receive.certnonceseed::
+ By setting this variable to a string, `git receive-pack`
+ will accept a `git push --signed` and verifies it by using
+ a "nonce" protected by HMAC using this string as a secret
+ key.
+
+receive.certnonceslop::
+ When a `git push --signed` sent a push certificate with a
+ "nonce" that was issued by a receive-pack serving the same
+ repository within this many seconds, export the "nonce"
+ found in the certificate to `GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE` to the
+ hooks (instead of what the receive-pack asked the sending
+ side to include). This may allow writing checks in
+ `pre-receive` and `post-receive` a bit easier. Instead of
+ checking `GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_SLOP` environment variable
+ that records by how many seconds the nonce is stale to
+ decide if they want to accept the certificate, they only
+ can check `GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_STATUS` is `OK`.
+
receive.fsckObjects::
If it is set to true, git-receive-pack will check all received
objects. It will abort in the case of a malformed object or a
`--pack-kept-objects` was passed. See linkgit:git-repack[1] for
details. Defaults to `false` normally, but `true` if a bitmap
index is being written (either via `--write-bitmap-index` or
- `pack.writeBitmaps`).

rerere.autoupdate::
When set to true, `git-rerere` updates the index with the
"--ignore-submodules" option. The 'git submodule' commands are not
affected by this setting.
+tag.sort::
+ This variable controls the sort ordering of tags when displayed by
+ linkgit:git-tag[1]. Without the "--sort=<value>" option provided, the
+ value of this variable will be used as the default.

tar.umask::
This variable can be used to restrict the permission bits of
tar archive entries. The default is 0002, which turns off the
