- If true, makes git convert `CRLF` at the end of lines in text files to

- writing to the filesystem. The variable can be set to
- 'input', in which case the conversion happens only while

resulting file would contain `CRLF`, although the original file
contained `LF`. However, in both work trees the line endings would be
consistent, that is either all `LF` or all `CRLF`, but never mixed. A
file with mixed line endings would be reported by the `core.safecrlf`
mechanism.
+core.autocrlf::

+status.submodulesummary::
+ Defaults to false.
+ If this is set to a non zero number or true (identical to -1 or an
+ unlimited number), the submodule summary will be enabled and a
+ summary of commits for modified submodules will be shown (see
+ --summary-limit option of linkgit:git-submodule[1]).
+
+submodule.<name>.path::
+submodule.<name>.url::
+submodule.<name>.update::
+ The path within this project, URL, and the updating strategy
+ for a submodule. These variables are initially populated
+ by 'git submodule init'; edit them to override the
+ URL and other values found in the `.gitmodules` file. See
+ linkgit:git-submodule[1] and linkgit:gitmodules[5] for details.
+
+submodule.<name>.ignore::
+ Defines under what circumstances "git status" and the diff family show
+ a submodule as modified. When set to "all", it will never be considered
+ modified, "dirty" will ignore all changes to the submodules work tree and
+ takes only differences between the HEAD of the submodule and the commit
+ recorded in the superproject into account. "untracked" will additionally
+ let submodules with modified tracked files in their work tree show up.
+ Using "none" (the default when this option is not set) also shows
+ submodules that have untracked files in their work tree as changed.
+ This setting overrides any setting made in .gitmodules for this submodule,
+ both settings can be overriden on the command line by using the
+ "--ignore-submodules" option.
+
tar.umask::
This variable can be used to restrict the permission bits of
tar archive entries. The default is 0002, which turns off the
