+merge.defaultToUpstream::
+       If merge is called without any commit argument, merge the upstream
+       branches configured for the current branch by using their last
+       observed values stored in their remote-tracking branches.
+       The values of the `branch.<current branch>.merge` that name the
+       branches at the remote named by `branch.<current branch>.remote`
+       are consulted, and then they are mapped via `remote.<remote>.fetch`
+       to their corresponding remote-tracking branches, and the tips of
+       these tracking branches are merged.
+
+merge.ff::
+       By default, git does not create an extra merge commit when merging
+       a commit that is a descendant of the current commit. Instead, the
+       tip of the current branch is fast-forwarded. When set to `false`,
+       this variable tells git to create an extra merge commit in such
+       a case (equivalent to giving the `--no-ff` option from the command
+       line). When set to `only`, only such fast-forward merges are
+       allowed (equivalent to giving the `--ff-only` option from the
+       command line).
