+core.alternateRefsCommand::
+ When advertising tips of available history from an alternate, use the shell to
+ execute the specified command instead of linkgit:git-for-each-ref[1]. The
+ first argument is the absolute path of the alternate. Output must contain one
+ hex object id per line (i.e., the same as produce by `git for-each-ref

++
+Note that you cannot generally put `git for-each-ref` directly into the config
+value, as it does not take a repository path as an argument (but you can wrap
+the command above in a shell script).
+
+core.alternateRefsPrefixes::
+ When listing references from an alternate, list only references that begin
+ with the given prefix. Prefixes match as if they were given as arguments to
+ linkgit:git-for-each-ref[1]. To list multiple prefixes, separate them with
+ whitespace. If `core.alternateRefsCommand` is set, setting

retry for 1 second).
-sequence.editor::
- Text editor used by `git rebase -i` for editing the rebase instruction file.
- The value is meant to be interpreted by the shell when it is used.
- It can be overridden by the `GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR` environment variable.
- When not configured the default commit message editor is used instead.

core.pager::
Text viewer for use by Git commands (e.g., 'less'). The value
is meant to be interpreted by the shell. The order of preference
option was given on the command line. See linkgit:git[1] and
linkgit:git-replace[1] for more information.

A boolean to make git-clean do nothing unless given -f,
-i or -n. Defaults to true.
operation complete faster, especially on slow filesystems. If
not set, the value of `transfer.unpackLimit` is used instead.
-fetch.recurseSubmodules::
- This option can be either set to a boolean value or to 'on-demand'.
- Setting it to a boolean changes the behavior of fetch and pull to
- unconditionally recurse into submodules when set to true or to not
- recurse at all when set to false. When set to 'on-demand' (the default
- value), fetch and pull will only recurse into a populated submodule
- when its superproject retrieves a commit that updates the submodule's
- reference.
-
-fetch.fsckObjects::
- If it is set to true, git-fetch-pack will check all fetched
- objects. See `transfer.fsckObjects` for what's
- checked. Defaults to false. If not set, the value of
- `transfer.fsckObjects` is used instead.
-
-fetch.fsck.<msg-id>::
- Acts like `fsck.<msg-id>`, but is used by
- linkgit:git-fetch-pack[1] instead of linkgit:git-fsck[1]. See
- the `fsck.<msg-id>` documentation for details.
-
-fetch.fsck.skipList::
- Acts like `fsck.skipList`, but is used by
- linkgit:git-fetch-pack[1] instead of linkgit:git-fsck[1]. See
- the `fsck.skipList` documentation for details.
-
-fetch.unpackLimit::
- If the number of objects fetched over the Git native
- transfer is below this
- limit, then the objects will be unpacked into loose object
- files. However if the number of received objects equals or
- exceeds this limit then the received pack will be stored as
- a pack, after adding any missing delta bases. Storing the
- pack from a push can make the push operation complete faster,
- especially on slow filesystems. If not set, the value of
- `transfer.unpackLimit` is used instead.
-
-fetch.prune::
- If true, fetch will automatically behave as if the `--prune`
- option was given on the command line. See also `remote.<name>.prune`
- and the PRUNING section of linkgit:git-fetch[1].
-
-fetch.pruneTags::
- If true, fetch will automatically behave as if the
- `refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*` refspec was provided when pruning,
- if not set already. This allows for setting both this option
- and `fetch.prune` to maintain a 1=1 mapping to upstream
- refs. See also `remote.<name>.pruneTags` and the PRUNING
- section of linkgit:git-fetch[1].
-
-fetch.output::
- Control how ref update status is printed. Valid values are
- `full` and `compact`. Default value is `full`. See section
- OUTPUT in linkgit:git-fetch[1] for detail.
-
-fetch.negotiationAlgorithm::
- Control how information about the commits in the local repository is
- sent when negotiating the contents of the packfile to be sent by the
- server. Set to "skipping" to use an algorithm that skips commits in an
- effort to converge faster, but may result in a larger-than-necessary
- packfile; The default is "default" which instructs Git to use the default algorithm
- that never skips commits (unless the server has acknowledged it or one
- of its descendants).
- Unknown values will cause 'git fetch' to error out.
-+
-See also the `--negotiation-tip` option for linkgit:git-fetch[1].
-
-format.attach::
- Enable multipart/mixed attachments as the default for
- 'format-patch'. The value can also be a double quoted string
- which will enable attachments as the default and set the
- value as the boundary. See the --attach option in
- linkgit:git-format-patch[1].
-
-format.from::
- Provides the default value for the `--from` option to format-patch.
- Accepts a boolean value, or a name and email address. If false,
- format-patch defaults to `--no-from`, using commit authors directly in
- the "From:" field of patch mails. If true, format-patch defaults to
- `--from`, using your committer identity in the "From:" field of patch
- mails and including a "From:" field in the body of the patch mail if
- different. If set to a non-boolean value, format-patch uses that
- value instead of your committer identity. Defaults to false.
-
-format.numbered::
- A boolean which can enable or disable sequence numbers in patch
- subjects. It defaults to "auto" which enables it only if there
- is more than one patch. It can be enabled or disabled for all
- messages by setting it to "true" or "false". See --numbered
- option in linkgit:git-format-patch[1].
-
-format.headers::
- Additional email headers to include in a patch to be submitted
- by mail. See linkgit:git-format-patch[1].
-
-format.to::
-format.cc::
- Additional recipients to include in a patch to be submitted
- by mail. See the --to and --cc options in
- linkgit:git-format-patch[1].
-
-format.subjectPrefix::
- The default for format-patch is to output files with the '[PATCH]'
- subject prefix. Use this variable to change that prefix.
-
-format.signature::
- The default for format-patch is to output a signature containing
- the Git version number. Use this variable to change that default.
- Set this variable to the empty string ("") to suppress
- signature generation.
-
-format.signatureFile::
- Works just like format.signature except the contents of the
- file specified by this variable will be used as the signature.
-
-format.suffix::
- The default for format-patch is to output files with the suffix
- `.patch`. Use this variable to change that suffix (make sure to
- include the dot if you want it).
-
-format.pretty::
- The default pretty format for log/show/whatchanged command,
- See linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1],
- linkgit:git-whatchanged[1].
-
-format.thread::
- The default threading style for 'git format-patch'. Can be
- a boolean value, or `shallow` or `deep`. `shallow` threading
- makes every mail a reply to the head of the series,
- where the head is chosen from the cover letter, the
- `--in-reply-to`, and the first patch mail, in this order.
- `deep` threading makes every mail a reply to the previous one.
- A true boolean value is the same as `shallow`, and a false
- value disables threading.
-
-format.signOff::
- A boolean value which lets you enable the `-s/--signoff` option of
- format-patch by default. *Note:* Adding the Signed-off-by: line to a
- patch should be a conscious act and means that you certify you have
- the rights to submit this work under the same open source license.
- Please see the 'SubmittingPatches' document for further discussion.
-
-format.coverLetter::
- A boolean that controls whether to generate a cover-letter when
- format-patch is invoked, but in addition can be set to "auto", to
- generate a cover-letter only when there's more than one patch.
-
-format.outputDirectory::
- Set a custom directory to store the resulting files instead of the
- current working directory.
-
-format.useAutoBase::
- A boolean value which lets you enable the `--base=auto` option of
- format-patch by default.

uniformly configure the same fsck settings in different circumstances
all three of them they must all set to the same values.
++
+Older versions of Git (before 2.20) documented that the object names
+list should be sorted. This was never a requirement, the object names
+could appear in any order, but when reading the list we tracked whether
+the list was sorted for the purposes of an internal binary search
+implementation, which could save itself some work with an already sorted
+list. Unless you had a humongous list there was no reason to go out of
+your way to pre-sort the list. After Git version 2.20 a hash implementation
+is used instead, so there's now no reason to pre-sort the list.
gc.aggressiveDepth::
The depth parameter used in the delta compression
for details.
gc.logExpiry::
- If the file gc.log exists, then `git gc --auto` won't run
+ If the file gc.log exists, then `git gc --auto` will print
+ its content and exit with status zero instead of running

value.
You can also use more human-readable "1.month.ago", etc.
The default is 15 days. See linkgit:git-rerere[1].
-gitcvs.commitMsgAnnotation::
- Append this string to each commit message. Set to empty string
- to disable this feature. Defaults to "via git-CVS emulator".
-
-gitcvs.enabled::
- Whether the CVS server interface is enabled for this repository.
- See linkgit:git-cvsserver[1].
-
-gitcvs.logFile::
- Path to a log file where the CVS server interface well... logs
- various stuff. See linkgit:git-cvsserver[1].
-
-gitcvs.usecrlfattr::
- If true, the server will look up the end-of-line conversion
- attributes for files to determine the `-k` modes to use. If
- the attributes force Git to treat a file as text,
- the `-k` mode will be left blank so CVS clients will
- treat it as text. If they suppress text conversion, the file
- will be set with '-kb' mode, which suppresses any newline munging
- the client might otherwise do. If the attributes do not allow
- the file type to be determined, then `gitcvs.allBinary` is
- used. See linkgit:gitattributes[5].
-
-gitcvs.allBinary::
- This is used if `gitcvs.usecrlfattr` does not resolve
- the correct '-kb' mode to use. If true, all
- unresolved files are sent to the client in
- mode '-kb'. This causes the client to treat them
- as binary files, which suppresses any newline munging it
- otherwise might do. Alternatively, if it is set to "guess",
- then the contents of the file are examined to decide if
- it is binary, similar to `core.autocrlf`.
-
-gitcvs.dbName::
- Database used by git-cvsserver to cache revision information
- derived from the Git repository. The exact meaning depends on the
- used database driver, for SQLite (which is the default driver) this
- is a filename. Supports variable substitution (see
- linkgit:git-cvsserver[1] for details). May not contain semicolons (`;`).
- Default: '%Ggitcvs.%m.sqlite'
-
-gitcvs.dbDriver::
- Used Perl DBI driver. You can specify any available driver
- for this here, but it might not work. git-cvsserver is tested
- with 'DBD::SQLite', reported to work with 'DBD::Pg', and
- reported *not* to work with 'DBD::mysql'. Experimental feature.
- May not contain double colons (`:`). Default: 'SQLite'.
- See linkgit:git-cvsserver[1].
-
-gitcvs.dbUser, gitcvs.dbPass::
- Database user and password. Only useful if setting `gitcvs.dbDriver`,
- since SQLite has no concept of database users and/or passwords.
- 'gitcvs.dbUser' supports variable substitution (see
- linkgit:git-cvsserver[1] for details).
-
-gitcvs.dbTableNamePrefix::
- Database table name prefix. Prepended to the names of any
- database tables used, allowing a single database to be used
- for several repositories. Supports variable substitution (see
- linkgit:git-cvsserver[1] for details). Any non-alphabetic
- characters will be replaced with underscores.
-
-All gitcvs variables except for `gitcvs.usecrlfattr` and
-`gitcvs.allBinary` can also be specified as
-'gitcvs.<access_method>.<varname>' (where 'access_method'
-is one of "ext" and "pserver") to make them apply only for the given
-access method.

++
++ http.schannelUseSSLCAInfo::
++ As of cURL v7.60.0, the Secure Channel backend can use the

-pull.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). This setting overrides `merge.ff` when pulling.
-
-pull.rebase::
- When true, rebase branches on top of the fetched branch, instead
- of merging the default branch from the default remote when "git
- pull" is run. See "branch.<name>.rebase" for setting this on a
- per-branch basis.
-+
-When `merges`, pass the `--rebase-merges` option to 'git rebase'
-so that the local merge commits are included in the rebase (see
-linkgit:git-rebase[1] for details).
-+
-When preserve, also pass `--preserve-merges` along to 'git rebase'
-so that locally committed merge commits will not be flattened
-by running 'git pull'.

-
-pull.twohead::
- The default merge strategy to use when pulling a single branch.

-push.default::
- Defines the action `git push` should take if no refspec is
- explicitly given. Different values are well-suited for
- specific workflows; for instance, in a purely central workflow
- (i.e. the fetch source is equal to the push destination),
- `upstream` is probably what you want. Possible values are:

--
-* `nothing` - do not push anything (error out) unless a refspec is
- explicitly given. This is primarily meant for people who want to
- avoid mistakes by always being explicit.
-
-* `current` - push the current branch to update a branch with the same
- name on the receiving end. Works in both central and non-central
- workflows.
-
-* `upstream` - push the current branch back to the branch whose
- changes are usually integrated into the current branch (which is
- called `@{upstream}`). This mode only makes sense if you are
- pushing to the same repository you would normally pull from
- (i.e. central workflow).
-
-* `tracking` - This is a deprecated synonym for `upstream`.
+include::pull-config.txt[]
-* `simple` - in centralized workflow, work like `upstream` with an
- added safety to refuse to push if the upstream branch's name is
- different from the local one.
-+
-When pushing to a remote that is different from the remote you normally
-pull from, work as `current`. This is the safest option and is suited
-for beginners.
-+
-This mode has become the default in Git 2.0.
-
-* `matching` - push all branches having the same name on both ends.
- This makes the repository you are pushing to remember the set of
- branches that will be pushed out (e.g. if you always push 'maint'
- and 'master' there and no other branches, the repository you push
- to will have these two branches, and your local 'maint' and
- 'master' will be pushed there).
-+
-To use this mode effectively, you have to make sure _all_ the
-branches you would push out are ready to be pushed out before
-running 'git push', as the whole point of this mode is to allow you
-to push all of the branches in one go. If you usually finish work
-on only one branch and push out the result, while other branches are
-unfinished, this mode is not for you. Also this mode is not
-suitable for pushing into a shared central repository, as other
-people may add new branches there, or update the tip of existing
-branches outside your control.

-This used to be the default, but not since Git 2.0 (`simple` is the
-new default).

-push.followTags::
- If set to true enable `--follow-tags` option by default. You
- may override this configuration at time of push by specifying
- `--no-follow-tags`.
-
-push.gpgSign::
- May be set to a boolean value, or the string 'if-asked'. A true
- value causes all pushes to be GPG signed, as if `--signed` is
- passed to linkgit:git-push[1]. The string 'if-asked' causes
- pushes to be signed if the server supports it, as if
- `--signed=if-asked` is passed to 'git push'. A false value may
- override a value from a lower-priority config file. An explicit
- command-line flag always overrides this config option.
-
-push.pushOption::
- When no `--push-option=<option>` argument is given from the
- command line, `git push` behaves as if each <value> of
- this variable is given as `--push-option=<value>`.
-+
-This is a multi-valued variable, and an empty value can be used in a
-higher priority configuration file (e.g. `.git/config` in a
-repository) to clear the values inherited from a lower priority
-configuration files (e.g. `$HOME/.gitconfig`).

- push.pushoption =

-
-This will result in only b (a and c are cleared).

---
-
-push.recurseSubmodules::
- Make sure all submodule commits used by the revisions to be pushed
- are available on a remote-tracking branch. If the value is 'check'
- then Git will verify that all submodule commits that changed in the
- revisions to be pushed are available on at least one remote of the
- submodule. If any commits are missing, the push will be aborted and
- exit with non-zero status. If the value is 'on-demand' then all
- submodules that changed in the revisions to be pushed will be
- pushed. If on-demand was not able to push all necessary revisions
- it will also be aborted and exit with non-zero status. If the value
- is 'no' then default behavior of ignoring submodules when pushing
- is retained. You may override this configuration at time of push by
- specifying '--recurse-submodules=check|on-demand|no'.

- will accept a `git push --signed` and verifies it by using
- a "nonce" protected by HMAC using this string as a secret
- key.
-
-receive.certNonceSlop::
- When a `git push --signed` sent a push certificate with a
- "nonce" that was issued by a receive-pack serving the same
- repository within this many seconds, export the "nonce"
- found in the certificate to `GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE` to the
- hooks (instead of what the receive-pack asked the sending
- side to include). This may allow writing checks in
- `pre-receive` and `post-receive` a bit easier. Instead of
- checking `GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_SLOP` environment variable
- that records by how many seconds the nonce is stale to
- decide if they want to accept the certificate, they only
- can check `GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_STATUS` is `OK`.
-
-receive.fsckObjects::
- If it is set to true, git-receive-pack will check all received
- objects. See `transfer.fsckObjects` for what's checked.
- Defaults to false. If not set, the value of
- `transfer.fsckObjects` is used instead.
-
-receive.fsck.<msg-id>::
- Acts like `fsck.<msg-id>`, but is used by
- linkgit:git-receive-pack[1] instead of
- linkgit:git-fsck[1]. See the `fsck.<msg-id>` documentation for
- details.
-
-receive.fsck.skipList::
- Acts like `fsck.skipList`, but is used by
- linkgit:git-receive-pack[1] instead of
- linkgit:git-fsck[1]. See the `fsck.skipList` documentation for
- details.
-
-receive.keepAlive::
- After receiving the pack from the client, `receive-pack` may
- produce no output (if `--quiet` was specified) while processing
- the pack, causing some networks to drop the TCP connection.
- With this option set, if `receive-pack` does not transmit
- any data in this phase for `receive.keepAlive` seconds, it will
- send a short keepalive packet. The default is 5 seconds; set
- to 0 to disable keepalives entirely.
-
-receive.unpackLimit::
- If the number of objects received in a push is below this
- limit then the objects will be unpacked into loose object
- files. However if the number of received objects equals or
- exceeds this limit then the received pack will be stored as
- a pack, after adding any missing delta bases. Storing the
- pack from a push can make the push operation complete faster,
- especially on slow filesystems. If not set, the value of
- `transfer.unpackLimit` is used instead.
-
-receive.maxInputSize::
- If the size of the incoming pack stream is larger than this
- limit, then git-receive-pack will error out, instead of
- accepting the pack file. If not set or set to 0, then the size
- is unlimited.
-
-receive.denyDeletes::
- If set to true, git-receive-pack will deny a ref update that deletes
- the ref. Use this to prevent such a ref deletion via a push.
-
-receive.denyDeleteCurrent::
- If set to true, git-receive-pack will deny a ref update that
- deletes the currently checked out branch of a non-bare repository.
-
-receive.denyCurrentBranch::
- If set to true or "refuse", git-receive-pack will deny a ref update
- to the currently checked out branch of a non-bare repository.
- Such a push is potentially dangerous because it brings the HEAD
- out of sync with the index and working tree. If set to "warn",
- print a warning of such a push to stderr, but allow the push to
- proceed. If set to false or "ignore", allow such pushes with no
- message. Defaults to "refuse".
-+
-Another option is "updateInstead" which will update the working
-tree if pushing into the current branch. This option is
-intended for synchronizing working directories when one side is not easily
-accessible via interactive ssh (e.g. a live web site, hence the requirement
-that the working directory be clean). This mode also comes in handy when
-developing inside a VM to test and fix code on different Operating Systems.
-+
-By default, "updateInstead" will refuse the push if the working tree or
-the index have any difference from the HEAD, but the `push-to-checkout`
-hook can be used to customize this. See linkgit:githooks[5].
-
-receive.denyNonFastForwards::
- If set to true, git-receive-pack will deny a ref update which is
- not a fast-forward. Use this to prevent such an update via a push,
- even if that push is forced. This configuration variable is
- set when initializing a shared repository.
-
-receive.hideRefs::
- 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
- after receiving data from git-push and updating refs.
-
-receive.shallowUpdate::
- If set to true, .git/shallow can be updated when new refs
- require new shallow roots. Otherwise those refs are rejected.

remote.pushDefault::
The remote to push to by default. Overrides
index is being written (either via `--write-bitmap-index` or
`repack.writeBitmaps`).
+repack.useDeltaIslands::
+ If set to true, makes `git repack` act as if `--delta-islands`
+ was passed. Defaults to `false`.
+
repack.writeBitmaps::
When true, git will write a bitmap index when packing all
objects to disk (e.g., when `git repack -a` is run). This
`$GIT_DIR`, e.g. if "rerere" was previously used in the
repository.
-sendemail.identity::
- A configuration identity. When given, causes values in the

+sequence.editor::
+ Text editor used by `git rebase -i` for editing the rebase instruction file.
+ The value is meant to be interpreted by the shell when it is used.

option will show diffstat of the stash entry. Defaults to true.
See description of 'show' command in linkgit:git-stash[1].
-submodule.<name>.url::
- The URL for a submodule. This variable is copied from the .gitmodules
- file to the git config via 'git submodule init'. The user can change
- the configured URL before obtaining the submodule via 'git submodule
- update'. If neither submodule.<name>.active or submodule.active are
- set, the presence of this variable is used as a fallback to indicate
- whether the submodule is of interest to git commands.
- See linkgit:git-submodule[1] and linkgit:gitmodules[5] for details.
-
-submodule.<name>.update::
- The method by which a submodule is updated by 'git submodule update',
- which is the only affected command, others such as
- 'git checkout --recurse-submodules' are unaffected. It exists for
- historical reasons, when 'git submodule' was the only command to
- interact with submodules; settings like `submodule.active`
- and `pull.rebase` are more specific. It is populated by
- `git submodule init` from the linkgit:gitmodules[5] file.
- See description of 'update' command in linkgit:git-submodule[1].
-
-submodule.<name>.branch::
- The remote branch name for a submodule, used by `git submodule
- update --remote`. Set this option to override the value found in
- the `.gitmodules` file. See linkgit:git-submodule[1] and
- linkgit:gitmodules[5] for details.
-
-submodule.<name>.fetchRecurseSubmodules::
- This option can be used to control recursive fetching of this
- submodule. It can be overridden by using the --[no-]recurse-submodules
- command-line option to "git fetch" and "git pull".
- This setting will override that from in the linkgit:gitmodules[5]
- file.
-
-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 (but it will nonetheless show up in the output of status and
- commit when it has been staged), "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 overridden on the command line by using the
- "--ignore-submodules" option. The 'git submodule' commands are not
- affected by this setting.
-
-submodule.<name>.active::
- Boolean value indicating if the submodule is of interest to git
- commands. This config option takes precedence over the
- submodule.active config option. See linkgit:gitsubmodules[7] for
- details.
-
-submodule.active::
- A repeated field which contains a pathspec used to match against a
- submodule's path to determine if the submodule is of interest to git
- commands. See linkgit:gitsubmodules[7] for details.
-
-submodule.recurse::
- Specifies if commands recurse into submodules by default. This
- applies to all commands that have a `--recurse-submodules` option,
- except `clone`.
- Defaults to false.
-
-submodule.fetchJobs::
- Specifies how many submodules are fetched/cloned at the same time.
- A positive integer allows up to that number of submodules fetched
- in parallel. A value of 0 will give some reasonable default.
- If unset, it defaults to 1.
-
-submodule.alternateLocation::
- Specifies how the submodules obtain alternates when submodules are
- cloned. Possible values are `no`, `superproject`.
- By default `no` is assumed, which doesn't add references. When the
- value is set to `superproject` the submodule to be cloned computes
- its alternates location relative to the superprojects alternate.
-
-submodule.alternateErrorStrategy::
- Specifies how to treat errors with the alternates for a submodule
- as computed via `submodule.alternateLocation`. Possible values are
- `ignore`, `info`, `die`. Default is `die`.

was run. I.e., `upload-pack` will feed input intended for
`pack-objects` to the hook, and expects a completed packfile on
stdout.
-
-uploadpack.allowFilter::
- If this option is set, `upload-pack` will support partial
- clone and partial fetch object filtering.
+
Note that this configuration variable is ignored if it is seen in the
repository-level config (this is a safety measure against fetching from
untrusted repositories).
+uploadpack.allowFilter::
+ If this option is set, `upload-pack` will support partial
+ clone and partial fetch object filtering.

uploadpack.allowRefInWant::
If this option is set, `upload-pack` will support the `ref-in-want`
feature of the protocol version 2 `fetch` command. This feature
