crawlers and some backup systems).
See linkgit:git-update-index[1]. True by default.
+core.splitIndex::
+ If true, the split-index feature of the index will be used.
+ See linkgit:git-update-index[1]. False by default.
+
core.untrackedCache::
Determines what to do about the untracked cache feature of the
index. It will be kept, if this variable is unset or set to
all fields, including the sub-second part of mtime and ctime.
core.quotePath::
- The commands that output paths (e.g. 'ls-files',
- 'diff'), when not given the `-z` option, will quote
- "unusual" characters in the pathname by enclosing the
- pathname in a double-quote pair and with backslashes the
- same way strings in C source code are quoted. If this
- variable is set to false, the bytes higher than 0x80 are
- not quoted but output as verbatim. Note that double
- quote, backslash and control characters are always
- quoted without `-z` regardless of the setting of this
- variable.
+ Commands that output paths (e.g. 'ls-files', 'diff'), will
+ quote "unusual" characters in the pathname by enclosing the
+ pathname in double-quotes and escaping those characters with
+ backslashes in the same way C escapes control characters (e.g.
+ `\t` for TAB, `\n` for LF, `\\` for backslash) or bytes with
+ values larger than 0x80 (e.g. octal `\302\265` for "micro" in
+ UTF-8). If this variable is set to false, bytes higher than
+ 0x80 are not considered "unusual" any more. Double-quotes,
+ backslash and control characters are always escaped regardless
+ of the setting of this variable. A simple space character is
+ not considered "unusual". Many commands can output pathnames
+ completely verbatim using the `-z` option. The default value
+ is true.
core.eol::
Sets the line ending type to use in the working directory for
The default set of branches for linkgit:git-show-branch[1].
See linkgit:git-show-branch[1].
+splitIndex.maxPercentChange::
+ When the split index feature is used, this specifies the
+ percent of entries the split index can contain compared to the
+ total number of entries in both the split index and the shared
+ index before a new shared index is written.
+ The value should be between 0 and 100. If the value is 0 then
+ a new shared index is always written, if it is 100 a new
+ shared index is never written.
+ By default the value is 20, so a new shared index is written
+ if the number of entries in the split index would be greater
+ than 20 percent of the total number of entries.
+ See linkgit:git-update-index[1].
+
+splitIndex.sharedIndexExpire::
+ When the split index feature is used, shared index files that
+ were not modified since the time this variable specifies will
+ be removed when a new shared index file is created. The value
+ "now" expires all entries immediately, and "never" suppresses
+ expiration altogether.
+ The default value is "2.weeks.ago".
+ Note that a shared index file is considered modified (for the
+ purpose of expiration) each time a new split-index file is
+ either created based on it or read from it.
+ See linkgit:git-update-index[1].
+
status.relativePaths::
By default, linkgit:git-status[1] shows paths relative to the
current directory. Setting this variable to `false` shows paths
