core.warnAmbiguousRefs::
If true, git will warn you if the ref name you passed it is ambiguous
database directly (where the "http://" and "rsync://" protocols
count as direct access).
+core.packedGitWindowSize::
+ Number of bytes of a pack file to map into memory in a
+ single mapping operation. Larger window sizes may allow
+ your system to process a smaller number of large pack files
+ more quickly. Smaller window sizes will negatively affect
+ performance due to increased calls to the operating system's
+ memory manager, but may improve performance when accessing
+ a large number of large pack files.
++
+Default is 1 MiB if NO_MMAP was set at compile time, otherwise 32
+MiB on 32 bit platforms and 1 GiB on 64 bit platforms. This should
+be reasonable for all users/operating systems. You probably do
+not need to adjust this value.
++
+Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
+
+core.packedGitLimit::
+ Maximum number of bytes to map simultaneously into memory
+ from pack files. If Git needs to access more than this many
+ bytes at once to complete an operation it will unmap existing
+ regions to reclaim virtual address space within the process.
++
+Default is 256 MiB on 32 bit platforms and 8 GiB on 64 bit platforms.
+This should be reasonable for all users/operating systems, except on
+the largest projects. You probably do not need to adjust this value.
