gc.pruneExpire::
When 'git gc' is run, it will call 'prune --expire 2.weeks.ago'.
Override the grace period with this config variable. The value
- "now" may be used to disable this grace period and always prune
- unreachable objects immediately.

-gc.pruneWorktreesExpire::
- When 'git gc' is run, it will call
- 'prune --worktrees --expire 3.months.ago'.
- Override the grace period with this config variable. The value
- "now" may be used to disable the grace period and prune
- $GIT_DIR/worktrees immediately.
+ "now" may be used to disable this grace period and always prune

+gc.worktreePruneExpire::

+ This config variable can be used to set a different grace

gc.<pattern>.reflogExpire::
'git reflog expire' removes reflog entries older than

receive.hideRefs::
- String(s) `receive-pack` uses to decide which refs to omit
- from its initial advertisement. Use more than one
- definitions to specify multiple prefix strings. A ref that
- are under the hierarchies listed on the value of this
- variable is excluded, and is hidden when responding to `git
- push`, and an attempt to update or delete a hidden ref by
- `git push` is rejected.
+ This variable is the same as `transfer.hideRefs`, but applies
+ only to `receive-pack` (and so affects pushes, but not fetches).
+ An attempt to update or delete a hidden ref by `git push` is
+ rejected.
receive.updateServerInfo::
If set to true, git-receive-pack will run git-update-server-info
Defaults to false.
transfer.hideRefs::
- This variable can be used to set both `receive.hideRefs`
- and `uploadpack.hideRefs` at the same time to the same
- values. See entries for these other variables.
+ String(s) `receive-pack` and `upload-pack` use to decide which
+ refs to omit from their initial advertisements. Use more than
+ one definition to specify multiple prefix strings. A ref that is
+ under the hierarchies listed in the value of this variable is
+ excluded, and is hidden when responding to `git push` or `git
+ fetch`. See `receive.hideRefs` and `uploadpack.hideRefs` for
+ program-specific versions of this config.
++
+You may also include a `!` in front of the ref name to negate the entry,
+explicitly exposing it, even if an earlier entry marked it as hidden.
+If you have multiple hideRefs values, later entries override earlier ones
+(and entries in more-specific config files override less-specific ones).
transfer.unpackLimit::
When `fetch.unpackLimit` or `receive.unpackLimit` are
`false`.
uploadpack.hideRefs::
- String(s) `upload-pack` uses to decide which refs to omit
- from its initial advertisement. Use more than one
- definitions to specify multiple prefix strings. A ref that
- are under the hierarchies listed on the value of this
- variable is excluded, and is hidden from `git ls-remote`,
- `git fetch`, etc. An attempt to fetch a hidden ref by `git
- fetch` will fail. See also `uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant`.
+ This variable is the same as `transfer.hideRefs`, but applies
