[PATCH 00/59] Split config.txt

[PATCH 00/59] Split config.txt

[Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy]

I started this a couple months back, moving a couple big config
sections out of config.txt to make it more manageable. This series
almost completes that. It moves all configs (except http.* which have
changes on 'pu') out of config.txt. config.txt is now about the
syntax, and a list of config sections. http section can be moved out
later.

I did a doc-diff on this series and the only change is ssh.variant is
moved down a bit to keep it in order, which is intended.

I thought of grouping all these config files in a separate directory
Documentation/config to avoid cluttering Documentation/ too much but
let's wait and see if people really find Documentation growing too
large first.

-core.fileMode::
-	Tells Git if the executable bit of files in the working tree
-	is to be honored.
-+
-Some filesystems lose the executable bit when a file that is
-marked as executable is checked out, or checks out a
-non-executable file with executable bit on.
-linkgit:git-clone[1] or linkgit:git-init[1] probe the filesystem
-to see if it handles the executable bit correctly
-and this variable is automatically set as necessary.
-+
-A repository, however, may be on a filesystem that handles
-the filemode correctly, and this variable is set to 'true'
-when created, but later may be made accessible from another
-environment that loses the filemode (e.g. exporting ext4 via
-CIFS mount, visiting a Cygwin created repository with
-Git for Windows or Eclipse).
-In such a case it may be necessary to set this variable to 'false'.
-See linkgit:git-update-index[1].
-+
-The default is true (when core.filemode is not specified in the config file).
-
-core.hideDotFiles::
-	(Windows-only) If true, mark newly-created directories and files whose
-	name starts with a dot as hidden.  If 'dotGitOnly', only the `.git/`
-	directory is hidden, but no other files starting with a dot.  The
-	default mode is 'dotGitOnly'.
-
-core.ignoreCase::
-	Internal variable which enables various workarounds to enable
-	Git to work better on filesystems that are not case sensitive,
-	like APFS, HFS+, FAT, NTFS, etc. For example, if a directory listing
-	finds "makefile" when Git expects "Makefile", Git will assume
-	it is really the same file, and continue to remember it as
-	"Makefile".
-+
-The default is false, except linkgit:git-clone[1] or linkgit:git-init[1]
-will probe and set core.ignoreCase true if appropriate when the repository
-is created.
-+
-Git relies on the proper configuration of this variable for your operating
-and file system. Modifying this value may result in unexpected behavior.
-
-core.precomposeUnicode::
-	This option is only used by Mac OS implementation of Git.
-	When core.precomposeUnicode=true, Git reverts the unicode decomposition
-	of filenames done by Mac OS. This is useful when sharing a repository
-	between Mac OS and Linux or Windows.
-	(Git for Windows 1.7.10 or higher is needed, or Git under cygwin 1.7).
-	When false, file names are handled fully transparent by Git,
-	which is backward compatible with older versions of Git.
-
-core.protectHFS::
-	If set to true, do not allow checkout of paths that would
-	be considered equivalent to `.git` on an HFS+ filesystem.
-	Defaults to `true` on Mac OS, and `false` elsewhere.
-
-core.protectNTFS::
-	If set to true, do not allow checkout of paths that would
-	cause problems with the NTFS filesystem, e.g. conflict with
-	8.3 "short" names.
-	Defaults to `true` on Windows, and `false` elsewhere.
-
-core.fsmonitor::
-	If set, the value of this variable is used as a command which
-	will identify all files that may have changed since the
-	requested date/time. This information is used to speed up git by
-	avoiding unnecessary processing of files that have not changed.
-	See the "fsmonitor-watchman" section of linkgit:githooks[5].
-
-core.trustctime::
-	If false, the ctime differences between the index and the
-	working tree are ignored; useful when the inode change time
-	is regularly modified by something outside Git (file system
-	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
-	`keep`. It will automatically be added if set to `true`. And
-	it will automatically be removed, if set to `false`. Before
-	setting it to `true`, you should check that mtime is working
-	properly on your system.
-	See linkgit:git-update-index[1]. `keep` by default.
-
-core.checkStat::
-	When missing or is set to `default`, many fields in the stat
-	structure are checked to detect if a file has been modified
-	since Git looked at it.  When this configuration variable is
-	set to `minimal`, sub-second part of mtime and ctime, the
-	uid and gid of the owner of the file, the inode number (and
-	the device number, if Git was compiled to use it), are
-	excluded from the check among these fields, leaving only the
-	whole-second part of mtime (and ctime, if `core.trustCtime`
-	is set) and the filesize to be checked.
-+
-There are implementations of Git that do not leave usable values in
-some fields (e.g. JGit); by excluding these fields from the
-comparison, the `minimal` mode may help interoperability when the
-same repository is used by these other systems at the same time.
-
-core.quotePath::
-	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
-	files that have the `text` property set when core.autocrlf is false.
-	Alternatives are 'lf', 'crlf' and 'native', which uses the platform's
-	native line ending.  The default value is `native`.  See
-	linkgit:gitattributes[5] for more information on end-of-line
-	conversion.
-
-core.safecrlf::
-	If true, makes Git check if converting `CRLF` is reversible when
-	end-of-line conversion is active.  Git will verify if a command
-	modifies a file in the work tree either directly or indirectly.
-	For example, committing a file followed by checking out the
-	same file should yield the original file in the work tree.  If
-	this is not the case for the current setting of
-	`core.autocrlf`, Git will reject the file.  The variable can
-	be set to "warn", in which case Git will only warn about an
-	irreversible conversion but continue the operation.
-+
-CRLF conversion bears a slight chance of corrupting data.
-When it is enabled, Git will convert CRLF to LF during commit and LF to
-CRLF during checkout.  A file that contains a mixture of LF and
-CRLF before the commit cannot be recreated by Git.  For text
-files this is the right thing to do: it corrects line endings
-such that we have only LF line endings in the repository.
-But for binary files that are accidentally classified as text the
-conversion can corrupt data.
-+
-If you recognize such corruption early you can easily fix it by
-setting the conversion type explicitly in .gitattributes.  Right
-after committing you still have the original file in your work
-tree and this file is not yet corrupted.  You can explicitly tell
-Git that this file is binary and Git will handle the file
-appropriately.
-+
-Unfortunately, the desired effect of cleaning up text files with
-mixed line endings and the undesired effect of corrupting binary
-files cannot be distinguished.  In both cases CRLFs are removed
-in an irreversible way.  For text files this is the right thing
-to do because CRLFs are line endings, while for binary files
-converting CRLFs corrupts data.
-+
-Note, this safety check does not mean that a checkout will generate a
-file identical to the original file for a different setting of
-`core.eol` and `core.autocrlf`, but only for the current one.  For
-example, a text file with `LF` would be accepted with `core.eol=lf`
-and could later be checked out with `core.eol=crlf`, in which case the
-resulting file would contain `CRLF`, although the original file
-contained `LF`.  However, in both work trees the line endings would be
-consistent, that is either all `LF` or all `CRLF`, but never mixed.  A
-file with mixed line endings would be reported by the `core.safecrlf`
-mechanism.
-
-core.autocrlf::
-	Setting this variable to "true" is the same as setting
-	the `text` attribute to "auto" on all files and core.eol to "crlf".
-	Set to true if you want to have `CRLF` line endings in your
-	working directory and the repository has LF line endings.
-	This variable can be set to 'input',
-	in which case no output conversion is performed.
-
-core.checkRoundtripEncoding::
-	A comma and/or whitespace separated list of encodings that Git
-	performs UTF-8 round trip checks on if they are used in an
-	`working-tree-encoding` attribute (see linkgit:gitattributes[5]).
-	The default value is `SHIFT-JIS`.
-
-core.symlinks::
-	If false, symbolic links are checked out as small plain files that
-	contain the link text. linkgit:git-update-index[1] and
-	linkgit:git-add[1] will not change the recorded type to regular
-	file. Useful on filesystems like FAT that do not support
-	symbolic links.
-+
-The default is true, except linkgit:git-clone[1] or linkgit:git-init[1]
-will probe and set core.symlinks false if appropriate when the repository
-is created.
-
-core.gitProxy::
-	A "proxy command" to execute (as 'command host port') instead
-	of establishing direct connection to the remote server when
-	using the Git protocol for fetching. If the variable value is
-	in the "COMMAND for DOMAIN" format, the command is applied only
-	on hostnames ending with the specified domain string. This variable
-	may be set multiple times and is matched in the given order;
-	the first match wins.
-+
-Can be overridden by the `GIT_PROXY_COMMAND` environment variable
-(which always applies universally, without the special "for"
-handling).
-+
-The special string `none` can be used as the proxy command to
-specify that no proxy be used for a given domain pattern.
-This is useful for excluding servers inside a firewall from
-proxy use, while defaulting to a common proxy for external domains.
-
-core.sshCommand::
-	If this variable is set, `git fetch` and `git push` will
-	use the specified command instead of `ssh` when they need to
-	connect to a remote system. The command is in the same form as
-	the `GIT_SSH_COMMAND` environment variable and is overridden
-	when the environment variable is set.
-
-core.ignoreStat::
-	If true, Git will avoid using lstat() calls to detect if files have
-	changed by setting the "assume-unchanged" bit for those tracked files
-	which it has updated identically in both the index and working tree.
-+
-When files are modified outside of Git, the user will need to stage
-the modified files explicitly (e.g. see 'Examples' section in
-linkgit:git-update-index[1]).
-Git will not normally detect changes to those files.
-+
-This is useful on systems where lstat() calls are very slow, such as
-CIFS/Microsoft Windows.
-+
-False by default.
-
-core.preferSymlinkRefs::
-	Instead of the default "symref" format for HEAD
-	and other symbolic reference files, use symbolic links.
-	This is sometimes needed to work with old scripts that
-	expect HEAD to be a symbolic link.
-
-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
-	--format='%(objectname)'`).
-+
-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
-	`core.alternateRefsPrefixes` has no effect.
-
-core.bare::
-	If true this repository is assumed to be 'bare' and has no
-	working directory associated with it.  If this is the case a
-	number of commands that require a working directory will be
-	disabled, such as linkgit:git-add[1] or linkgit:git-merge[1].
-+
-This setting is automatically guessed by linkgit:git-clone[1] or
-linkgit:git-init[1] when the repository was created.  By default a
-repository that ends in "/.git" is assumed to be not bare (bare =
-false), while all other repositories are assumed to be bare (bare
-= true).
-
-core.worktree::
-	Set the path to the root of the working tree.
-	If `GIT_COMMON_DIR` environment variable is set, core.worktree
-	is ignored and not used for determining the root of working tree.
-	This can be overridden by the `GIT_WORK_TREE` environment
-	variable and the `--work-tree` command-line option.
-	The value can be an absolute path or relative to the path to
-	the .git directory, which is either specified by --git-dir
-	or GIT_DIR, or automatically discovered.
-	If --git-dir or GIT_DIR is specified but none of
-	--work-tree, GIT_WORK_TREE and core.worktree is specified,
-	the current working directory is regarded as the top level
-	of your working tree.
-+
-Note that this variable is honored even when set in a configuration
-file in a ".git" subdirectory of a directory and its value differs
-from the latter directory (e.g. "/path/to/.git/config" has
-core.worktree set to "/different/path"), which is most likely a
-misconfiguration.  Running Git commands in the "/path/to" directory will
-still use "/different/path" as the root of the work tree and can cause
-confusion unless you know what you are doing (e.g. you are creating a
-read-only snapshot of the same index to a location different from the
-repository's usual working tree).
-
-core.logAllRefUpdates::
-	Enable the reflog. Updates to a ref <ref> is logged to the file
-	"`$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref>`", by appending the new and old
-	SHA-1, the date/time and the reason of the update, but
-	only when the file exists.  If this configuration
-	variable is set to `true`, missing "`$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref>`"
-	file is automatically created for branch heads (i.e. under
-	`refs/heads/`), remote refs (i.e. under `refs/remotes/`),
-	note refs (i.e. under `refs/notes/`), and the symbolic ref `HEAD`.
-	If it is set to `always`, then a missing reflog is automatically
-	created for any ref under `refs/`.
-+
-This information can be used to determine what commit
-was the tip of a branch "2 days ago".
-+
-This value is true by default in a repository that has
-a working directory associated with it, and false by
-default in a bare repository.
-
-core.repositoryFormatVersion::
-	Internal variable identifying the repository format and layout
-	version.
-
-core.sharedRepository::
-	When 'group' (or 'true'), the repository is made shareable between
-	several users in a group (making sure all the files and objects are
-	group-writable). When 'all' (or 'world' or 'everybody'), the
-	repository will be readable by all users, additionally to being
-	group-shareable. When 'umask' (or 'false'), Git will use permissions
-	reported by umask(2). When '0xxx', where '0xxx' is an octal number,
-	files in the repository will have this mode value. '0xxx' will override
-	user's umask value (whereas the other options will only override
-	requested parts of the user's umask value). Examples: '0660' will make
-	the repo read/write-able for the owner and group, but inaccessible to
-	others (equivalent to 'group' unless umask is e.g. '0022'). '0640' is a
-	repository that is group-readable but not group-writable.
-	See linkgit:git-init[1]. False by default.
-
-core.warnAmbiguousRefs::
-	If true, Git will warn you if the ref name you passed it is ambiguous
-	and might match multiple refs in the repository. True by default.
-
-core.compression::
-	An integer -1..9, indicating a default compression level.
-	-1 is the zlib default. 0 means no compression,
-	and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9 being slowest.
-	If set, this provides a default to other compression variables,
-	such as `core.looseCompression` and `pack.compression`.
-
-core.looseCompression::
-	An integer -1..9, indicating the compression level for objects that
-	are not in a pack file. -1 is the zlib default. 0 means no
-	compression, and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9 being
-	slowest.  If not set,  defaults to core.compression.  If that is
-	not set,  defaults to 1 (best speed).
-
-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 32 TiB (effectively
-unlimited) 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.
-+
-Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
-
-core.deltaBaseCacheLimit::
-	Maximum number of bytes to reserve for caching base objects
-	that may be referenced by multiple deltified objects.  By storing the
-	entire decompressed base objects in a cache Git is able
-	to avoid unpacking and decompressing frequently used base
-	objects multiple times.
-+
-Default is 96 MiB on all platforms.  This should be reasonable
-for all users/operating systems, except on the largest projects.
-You probably do not need to adjust this value.
-+
-Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
-
-core.bigFileThreshold::
-	Files larger than this size are stored deflated, without
-	attempting delta compression.  Storing large files without
-	delta compression avoids excessive memory usage, at the
-	slight expense of increased disk usage. Additionally files
-	larger than this size are always treated as binary.
-+
-Default is 512 MiB on all platforms.  This should be reasonable
-for most projects as source code and other text files can still
-be delta compressed, but larger binary media files won't be.
-+
-Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
-
-core.excludesFile::
-	Specifies the pathname to the file that contains patterns to
-	describe paths that are not meant to be tracked, in addition
-	to '.gitignore' (per-directory) and '.git/info/exclude'.
-	Defaults to `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/ignore`.
-	If `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME` is either not set or empty, `$HOME/.config/git/ignore`
-	is used instead. See linkgit:gitignore[5].
-
-core.askPass::
-	Some commands (e.g. svn and http interfaces) that interactively
-	ask for a password can be told to use an external program given
-	via the value of this variable. Can be overridden by the `GIT_ASKPASS`
-	environment variable. If not set, fall back to the value of the
-	`SSH_ASKPASS` environment variable or, failing that, a simple password
-	prompt. The external program shall be given a suitable prompt as
-	command-line argument and write the password on its STDOUT.
-
-core.attributesFile::
-	In addition to '.gitattributes' (per-directory) and
-	'.git/info/attributes', Git looks into this file for attributes
-	(see linkgit:gitattributes[5]). Path expansions are made the same
-	way as for `core.excludesFile`. Its default value is
-	`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/attributes`. If `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME` is either not
-	set or empty, `$HOME/.config/git/attributes` is used instead.
-
-core.hooksPath::
-	By default Git will look for your hooks in the
-	'$GIT_DIR/hooks' directory. Set this to different path,
-	e.g. '/etc/git/hooks', and Git will try to find your hooks in
-	that directory, e.g. '/etc/git/hooks/pre-receive' instead of
-	in '$GIT_DIR/hooks/pre-receive'.
-+
-The path can be either absolute or relative. A relative path is
-taken as relative to the directory where the hooks are run (see
-the "DESCRIPTION" section of linkgit:githooks[5]).
-+
-This configuration variable is useful in cases where you'd like to
-centrally configure your Git hooks instead of configuring them on a
-per-repository basis, or as a more flexible and centralized
-alternative to having an `init.templateDir` where you've changed
-default hooks.
-
-core.editor::
-	Commands such as `commit` and `tag` that let you edit
-	messages by launching an editor use the value of this
-	variable when it is set, and the environment variable
-	`GIT_EDITOR` is not set.  See linkgit:git-var[1].
-
-core.commentChar::
-	Commands such as `commit` and `tag` that let you edit
-	messages consider a line that begins with this character
-	commented, and removes them after the editor returns
-	(default '#').
-+
-If set to "auto", `git-commit` would select a character that is not
-the beginning character of any line in existing commit messages.
-
-core.filesRefLockTimeout::
-	The length of time, in milliseconds, to retry when trying to
-	lock an individual reference. Value 0 means not to retry at
-	all; -1 means to try indefinitely. Default is 100 (i.e.,
-	retry for 100ms).
-
-core.packedRefsTimeout::
-	The length of time, in milliseconds, to retry when trying to
-	lock the `packed-refs` file. Value 0 means not to retry at
-	all; -1 means to try indefinitely. Default is 1000 (i.e.,
-	retry for 1 second).
-
-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
-	is the `$GIT_PAGER` environment variable, then `core.pager`
-	configuration, then `$PAGER`, and then the default chosen at
-	compile time (usually 'less').
-+
-When the `LESS` environment variable is unset, Git sets it to `FRX`
-(if `LESS` environment variable is set, Git does not change it at
-all).  If you want to selectively override Git's default setting
-for `LESS`, you can set `core.pager` to e.g. `less -S`.  This will
-be passed to the shell by Git, which will translate the final
-command to `LESS=FRX less -S`. The environment does not set the
-`S` option but the command line does, instructing less to truncate
-long lines. Similarly, setting `core.pager` to `less -+F` will
-deactivate the `F` option specified by the environment from the
-command-line, deactivating the "quit if one screen" behavior of
-`less`.  One can specifically activate some flags for particular
-commands: for example, setting `pager.blame` to `less -S` enables
-line truncation only for `git blame`.
-+
-Likewise, when the `LV` environment variable is unset, Git sets it
-to `-c`.  You can override this setting by exporting `LV` with
-another value or setting `core.pager` to `lv +c`.
-
-core.whitespace::
-	A comma separated list of common whitespace problems to
-	notice.  'git diff' will use `color.diff.whitespace` to
-	highlight them, and 'git apply --whitespace=error' will
-	consider them as errors.  You can prefix `-` to disable
-	any of them (e.g. `-trailing-space`):
-+
-* `blank-at-eol` treats trailing whitespaces at the end of the line
-  as an error (enabled by default).
-* `space-before-tab` treats a space character that appears immediately
-  before a tab character in the initial indent part of the line as an
-  error (enabled by default).
-* `indent-with-non-tab` treats a line that is indented with space
-  characters instead of the equivalent tabs as an error (not enabled by
-  default).
-* `tab-in-indent` treats a tab character in the initial indent part of
-  the line as an error (not enabled by default).
-* `blank-at-eof` treats blank lines added at the end of file as an error
-  (enabled by default).
-* `trailing-space` is a short-hand to cover both `blank-at-eol` and
-  `blank-at-eof`.
-* `cr-at-eol` treats a carriage-return at the end of line as
-  part of the line terminator, i.e. with it, `trailing-space`
-  does not trigger if the character before such a carriage-return
-  is not a whitespace (not enabled by default).
-* `tabwidth=<n>` tells how many character positions a tab occupies; this
-  is relevant for `indent-with-non-tab` and when Git fixes `tab-in-indent`
-  errors. The default tab width is 8. Allowed values are 1 to 63.
-
-core.fsyncObjectFiles::
-	This boolean will enable 'fsync()' when writing object files.
-+
-This is a total waste of time and effort on a filesystem that orders
-data writes properly, but can be useful for filesystems that do not use
-journalling (traditional UNIX filesystems) or that only journal metadata
-and not file contents (OS X's HFS+, or Linux ext3 with "data=writeback").
-
-core.preloadIndex::
-	Enable parallel index preload for operations like 'git diff'
-+
-This can speed up operations like 'git diff' and 'git status' especially
-on filesystems like NFS that have weak caching semantics and thus
-relatively high IO latencies.  When enabled, Git will do the
-index comparison to the filesystem data in parallel, allowing
-overlapping IO's.  Defaults to true.
-
-core.createObject::
-	You can set this to 'link', in which case a hardlink followed by
-	a delete of the source are used to make sure that object creation
-	will not overwrite existing objects.
-+
-On some file system/operating system combinations, this is unreliable.
-Set this config setting to 'rename' there; However, This will remove the
-check that makes sure that existing object files will not get overwritten.
-
-core.notesRef::
-	When showing commit messages, also show notes which are stored in
-	the given ref.  The ref must be fully qualified.  If the given
-	ref does not exist, it is not an error but means that no
-	notes should be printed.
-+
-This setting defaults to "refs/notes/commits", and it can be overridden by
-the `GIT_NOTES_REF` environment variable.  See linkgit:git-notes[1].
-
-core.commitGraph::
-	If true, then git will read the commit-graph file (if it exists)
-	to parse the graph structure of commits. Defaults to false. See
-	linkgit:git-commit-graph[1] for more information.
-
-core.useReplaceRefs::
-	If set to `false`, behave as if the `--no-replace-objects`
-	option was given on the command line. See linkgit:git[1] and
-	linkgit:git-replace[1] for more information.
-
-core.multiPackIndex::
-	Use the multi-pack-index file to track multiple packfiles using a
-	single index. See link:technical/multi-pack-index.html[the
-	multi-pack-index design document].
-
-core.sparseCheckout::
-	Enable "sparse checkout" feature. See section "Sparse checkout" in
-	linkgit:git-read-tree[1] for more information.
-
-core.abbrev::
-	Set the length object names are abbreviated to.  If
-	unspecified or set to "auto", an appropriate value is
-	computed based on the approximate number of packed objects
-	in your repository, which hopefully is enough for
-	abbreviated object names to stay unique for some time.
-	The minimum length is 4.

+core.fileMode::
+	Tells Git if the executable bit of files in the working tree
+	is to be honored.
++
+Some filesystems lose the executable bit when a file that is
+marked as executable is checked out, or checks out a
+non-executable file with executable bit on.
+linkgit:git-clone[1] or linkgit:git-init[1] probe the filesystem
+to see if it handles the executable bit correctly
+and this variable is automatically set as necessary.
++
+A repository, however, may be on a filesystem that handles
+the filemode correctly, and this variable is set to 'true'
+when created, but later may be made accessible from another
+environment that loses the filemode (e.g. exporting ext4 via
+CIFS mount, visiting a Cygwin created repository with
+Git for Windows or Eclipse).
+In such a case it may be necessary to set this variable to 'false'.
+See linkgit:git-update-index[1].
++
+The default is true (when core.filemode is not specified in the config file).
+
+core.hideDotFiles::
+	(Windows-only) If true, mark newly-created directories and files whose
+	name starts with a dot as hidden.  If 'dotGitOnly', only the `.git/`
+	directory is hidden, but no other files starting with a dot.  The
+	default mode is 'dotGitOnly'.
+
+core.ignoreCase::
+	Internal variable which enables various workarounds to enable
+	Git to work better on filesystems that are not case sensitive,
+	like APFS, HFS+, FAT, NTFS, etc. For example, if a directory listing
+	finds "makefile" when Git expects "Makefile", Git will assume
+	it is really the same file, and continue to remember it as
+	"Makefile".
++
+The default is false, except linkgit:git-clone[1] or linkgit:git-init[1]
+will probe and set core.ignoreCase true if appropriate when the repository
+is created.
++
+Git relies on the proper configuration of this variable for your operating
+and file system. Modifying this value may result in unexpected behavior.
+
+core.precomposeUnicode::
+	This option is only used by Mac OS implementation of Git.
+	When core.precomposeUnicode=true, Git reverts the unicode decomposition
+	of filenames done by Mac OS. This is useful when sharing a repository
+	between Mac OS and Linux or Windows.
+	(Git for Windows 1.7.10 or higher is needed, or Git under cygwin 1.7).
+	When false, file names are handled fully transparent by Git,
+	which is backward compatible with older versions of Git.
+
+core.protectHFS::
+	If set to true, do not allow checkout of paths that would
+	be considered equivalent to `.git` on an HFS+ filesystem.
+	Defaults to `true` on Mac OS, and `false` elsewhere.
+
+core.protectNTFS::
+	If set to true, do not allow checkout of paths that would
+	cause problems with the NTFS filesystem, e.g. conflict with
+	8.3 "short" names.
+	Defaults to `true` on Windows, and `false` elsewhere.
+
+core.fsmonitor::
+	If set, the value of this variable is used as a command which
+	will identify all files that may have changed since the
+	requested date/time. This information is used to speed up git by
+	avoiding unnecessary processing of files that have not changed.
+	See the "fsmonitor-watchman" section of linkgit:githooks[5].
+
+core.trustctime::
+	If false, the ctime differences between the index and the
+	working tree are ignored; useful when the inode change time
+	is regularly modified by something outside Git (file system
+	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
+	`keep`. It will automatically be added if set to `true`. And
+	it will automatically be removed, if set to `false`. Before
+	setting it to `true`, you should check that mtime is working
+	properly on your system.
+	See linkgit:git-update-index[1]. `keep` by default.
+
+core.checkStat::
+	When missing or is set to `default`, many fields in the stat
+	structure are checked to detect if a file has been modified
+	since Git looked at it.  When this configuration variable is
+	set to `minimal`, sub-second part of mtime and ctime, the
+	uid and gid of the owner of the file, the inode number (and
+	the device number, if Git was compiled to use it), are
+	excluded from the check among these fields, leaving only the
+	whole-second part of mtime (and ctime, if `core.trustCtime`
+	is set) and the filesize to be checked.
++
+There are implementations of Git that do not leave usable values in
+some fields (e.g. JGit); by excluding these fields from the
+comparison, the `minimal` mode may help interoperability when the
+same repository is used by these other systems at the same time.
+
+core.quotePath::
+	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
+	files that have the `text` property set when core.autocrlf is false.
+	Alternatives are 'lf', 'crlf' and 'native', which uses the platform's
+	native line ending.  The default value is `native`.  See
+	linkgit:gitattributes[5] for more information on end-of-line
+	conversion.
+
+core.safecrlf::
+	If true, makes Git check if converting `CRLF` is reversible when
+	end-of-line conversion is active.  Git will verify if a command
+	modifies a file in the work tree either directly or indirectly.
+	For example, committing a file followed by checking out the
+	same file should yield the original file in the work tree.  If
+	this is not the case for the current setting of
+	`core.autocrlf`, Git will reject the file.  The variable can
+	be set to "warn", in which case Git will only warn about an
+	irreversible conversion but continue the operation.
++
+CRLF conversion bears a slight chance of corrupting data.
+When it is enabled, Git will convert CRLF to LF during commit and LF to
+CRLF during checkout.  A file that contains a mixture of LF and
+CRLF before the commit cannot be recreated by Git.  For text
+files this is the right thing to do: it corrects line endings
+such that we have only LF line endings in the repository.
+But for binary files that are accidentally classified as text the
+conversion can corrupt data.
++
+If you recognize such corruption early you can easily fix it by
+setting the conversion type explicitly in .gitattributes.  Right
+after committing you still have the original file in your work
+tree and this file is not yet corrupted.  You can explicitly tell
+Git that this file is binary and Git will handle the file
+appropriately.
++
+Unfortunately, the desired effect of cleaning up text files with
+mixed line endings and the undesired effect of corrupting binary
+files cannot be distinguished.  In both cases CRLFs are removed
+in an irreversible way.  For text files this is the right thing
+to do because CRLFs are line endings, while for binary files
+converting CRLFs corrupts data.
++
+Note, this safety check does not mean that a checkout will generate a
+file identical to the original file for a different setting of
+`core.eol` and `core.autocrlf`, but only for the current one.  For
+example, a text file with `LF` would be accepted with `core.eol=lf`
+and could later be checked out with `core.eol=crlf`, in which case the
+resulting file would contain `CRLF`, although the original file
+contained `LF`.  However, in both work trees the line endings would be
+consistent, that is either all `LF` or all `CRLF`, but never mixed.  A
+file with mixed line endings would be reported by the `core.safecrlf`
+mechanism.
+
+core.autocrlf::
+	Setting this variable to "true" is the same as setting
+	the `text` attribute to "auto" on all files and core.eol to "crlf".
+	Set to true if you want to have `CRLF` line endings in your
+	working directory and the repository has LF line endings.
+	This variable can be set to 'input',
+	in which case no output conversion is performed.
+
+core.checkRoundtripEncoding::
+	A comma and/or whitespace separated list of encodings that Git
+	performs UTF-8 round trip checks on if they are used in an
+	`working-tree-encoding` attribute (see linkgit:gitattributes[5]).
+	The default value is `SHIFT-JIS`.
+
+core.symlinks::
+	If false, symbolic links are checked out as small plain files that
+	contain the link text. linkgit:git-update-index[1] and
+	linkgit:git-add[1] will not change the recorded type to regular
+	file. Useful on filesystems like FAT that do not support
+	symbolic links.
++
+The default is true, except linkgit:git-clone[1] or linkgit:git-init[1]
+will probe and set core.symlinks false if appropriate when the repository
+is created.
+
+core.gitProxy::
+	A "proxy command" to execute (as 'command host port') instead
+	of establishing direct connection to the remote server when
+	using the Git protocol for fetching. If the variable value is
+	in the "COMMAND for DOMAIN" format, the command is applied only
+	on hostnames ending with the specified domain string. This variable
+	may be set multiple times and is matched in the given order;
+	the first match wins.
++
+Can be overridden by the `GIT_PROXY_COMMAND` environment variable
+(which always applies universally, without the special "for"
+handling).
++
+The special string `none` can be used as the proxy command to
+specify that no proxy be used for a given domain pattern.
+This is useful for excluding servers inside a firewall from
+proxy use, while defaulting to a common proxy for external domains.
+
+core.sshCommand::
+	If this variable is set, `git fetch` and `git push` will
+	use the specified command instead of `ssh` when they need to
+	connect to a remote system. The command is in the same form as
+	the `GIT_SSH_COMMAND` environment variable and is overridden
+	when the environment variable is set.
+
+core.ignoreStat::
+	If true, Git will avoid using lstat() calls to detect if files have
+	changed by setting the "assume-unchanged" bit for those tracked files
+	which it has updated identically in both the index and working tree.
++
+When files are modified outside of Git, the user will need to stage
+the modified files explicitly (e.g. see 'Examples' section in
+linkgit:git-update-index[1]).
+Git will not normally detect changes to those files.
++
+This is useful on systems where lstat() calls are very slow, such as
+CIFS/Microsoft Windows.
++
+False by default.
+
+core.preferSymlinkRefs::
+	Instead of the default "symref" format for HEAD
+	and other symbolic reference files, use symbolic links.
+	This is sometimes needed to work with old scripts that
+	expect HEAD to be a symbolic link.
+
+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
+	--format='%(objectname)'`).
++
+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
+	`core.alternateRefsPrefixes` has no effect.
+
+core.bare::
+	If true this repository is assumed to be 'bare' and has no
+	working directory associated with it.  If this is the case a
+	number of commands that require a working directory will be
+	disabled, such as linkgit:git-add[1] or linkgit:git-merge[1].
++
+This setting is automatically guessed by linkgit:git-clone[1] or
+linkgit:git-init[1] when the repository was created.  By default a
+repository that ends in "/.git" is assumed to be not bare (bare =
+false), while all other repositories are assumed to be bare (bare
+= true).
+
+core.worktree::
+	Set the path to the root of the working tree.
+	If `GIT_COMMON_DIR` environment variable is set, core.worktree
+	is ignored and not used for determining the root of working tree.
+	This can be overridden by the `GIT_WORK_TREE` environment
+	variable and the `--work-tree` command-line option.
+	The value can be an absolute path or relative to the path to
+	the .git directory, which is either specified by --git-dir
+	or GIT_DIR, or automatically discovered.
+	If --git-dir or GIT_DIR is specified but none of
+	--work-tree, GIT_WORK_TREE and core.worktree is specified,
+	the current working directory is regarded as the top level
+	of your working tree.
++
+Note that this variable is honored even when set in a configuration
+file in a ".git" subdirectory of a directory and its value differs
+from the latter directory (e.g. "/path/to/.git/config" has
+core.worktree set to "/different/path"), which is most likely a
+misconfiguration.  Running Git commands in the "/path/to" directory will
+still use "/different/path" as the root of the work tree and can cause
+confusion unless you know what you are doing (e.g. you are creating a
+read-only snapshot of the same index to a location different from the
+repository's usual working tree).
+
+core.logAllRefUpdates::
+	Enable the reflog. Updates to a ref <ref> is logged to the file
+	"`$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref>`", by appending the new and old
+	SHA-1, the date/time and the reason of the update, but
+	only when the file exists.  If this configuration
+	variable is set to `true`, missing "`$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref>`"
+	file is automatically created for branch heads (i.e. under
+	`refs/heads/`), remote refs (i.e. under `refs/remotes/`),
+	note refs (i.e. under `refs/notes/`), and the symbolic ref `HEAD`.
+	If it is set to `always`, then a missing reflog is automatically
+	created for any ref under `refs/`.
++
+This information can be used to determine what commit
+was the tip of a branch "2 days ago".
++
+This value is true by default in a repository that has
+a working directory associated with it, and false by
+default in a bare repository.
+
+core.repositoryFormatVersion::
+	Internal variable identifying the repository format and layout
+	version.
+
+core.sharedRepository::
+	When 'group' (or 'true'), the repository is made shareable between
+	several users in a group (making sure all the files and objects are
+	group-writable). When 'all' (or 'world' or 'everybody'), the
+	repository will be readable by all users, additionally to being
+	group-shareable. When 'umask' (or 'false'), Git will use permissions
+	reported by umask(2). When '0xxx', where '0xxx' is an octal number,
+	files in the repository will have this mode value. '0xxx' will override
+	user's umask value (whereas the other options will only override
+	requested parts of the user's umask value). Examples: '0660' will make
+	the repo read/write-able for the owner and group, but inaccessible to
+	others (equivalent to 'group' unless umask is e.g. '0022'). '0640' is a
+	repository that is group-readable but not group-writable.
+	See linkgit:git-init[1]. False by default.
+
+core.warnAmbiguousRefs::
+	If true, Git will warn you if the ref name you passed it is ambiguous
+	and might match multiple refs in the repository. True by default.
+
+core.compression::
+	An integer -1..9, indicating a default compression level.
+	-1 is the zlib default. 0 means no compression,
+	and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9 being slowest.
+	If set, this provides a default to other compression variables,
+	such as `core.looseCompression` and `pack.compression`.
+
+core.looseCompression::
+	An integer -1..9, indicating the compression level for objects that
+	are not in a pack file. -1 is the zlib default. 0 means no
+	compression, and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9 being
+	slowest.  If not set,  defaults to core.compression.  If that is
+	not set,  defaults to 1 (best speed).
+
+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 32 TiB (effectively
+unlimited) 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.
++
+Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
+
+core.deltaBaseCacheLimit::
+	Maximum number of bytes to reserve for caching base objects
+	that may be referenced by multiple deltified objects.  By storing the
+	entire decompressed base objects in a cache Git is able
+	to avoid unpacking and decompressing frequently used base
+	objects multiple times.
++
+Default is 96 MiB on all platforms.  This should be reasonable
+for all users/operating systems, except on the largest projects.
+You probably do not need to adjust this value.
++
+Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
+
+core.bigFileThreshold::
+	Files larger than this size are stored deflated, without
+	attempting delta compression.  Storing large files without
+	delta compression avoids excessive memory usage, at the
+	slight expense of increased disk usage. Additionally files
+	larger than this size are always treated as binary.
++
+Default is 512 MiB on all platforms.  This should be reasonable
+for most projects as source code and other text files can still
+be delta compressed, but larger binary media files won't be.
++
+Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
+
+core.excludesFile::
+	Specifies the pathname to the file that contains patterns to
+	describe paths that are not meant to be tracked, in addition
+	to '.gitignore' (per-directory) and '.git/info/exclude'.
+	Defaults to `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/ignore`.
+	If `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME` is either not set or empty, `$HOME/.config/git/ignore`
+	is used instead. See linkgit:gitignore[5].
+
+core.askPass::
+	Some commands (e.g. svn and http interfaces) that interactively
+	ask for a password can be told to use an external program given
+	via the value of this variable. Can be overridden by the `GIT_ASKPASS`
+	environment variable. If not set, fall back to the value of the
+	`SSH_ASKPASS` environment variable or, failing that, a simple password
+	prompt. The external program shall be given a suitable prompt as
+	command-line argument and write the password on its STDOUT.
+
+core.attributesFile::
+	In addition to '.gitattributes' (per-directory) and
+	'.git/info/attributes', Git looks into this file for attributes
+	(see linkgit:gitattributes[5]). Path expansions are made the same
+	way as for `core.excludesFile`. Its default value is
+	`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/attributes`. If `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME` is either not
+	set or empty, `$HOME/.config/git/attributes` is used instead.
+
+core.hooksPath::
+	By default Git will look for your hooks in the
+	'$GIT_DIR/hooks' directory. Set this to different path,
+	e.g. '/etc/git/hooks', and Git will try to find your hooks in
+	that directory, e.g. '/etc/git/hooks/pre-receive' instead of
+	in '$GIT_DIR/hooks/pre-receive'.
++
+The path can be either absolute or relative. A relative path is
+taken as relative to the directory where the hooks are run (see
+the "DESCRIPTION" section of linkgit:githooks[5]).
++
+This configuration variable is useful in cases where you'd like to
+centrally configure your Git hooks instead of configuring them on a
+per-repository basis, or as a more flexible and centralized
+alternative to having an `init.templateDir` where you've changed
+default hooks.
+
+core.editor::
+	Commands such as `commit` and `tag` that let you edit
+	messages by launching an editor use the value of this
+	variable when it is set, and the environment variable
+	`GIT_EDITOR` is not set.  See linkgit:git-var[1].
+
+core.commentChar::
+	Commands such as `commit` and `tag` that let you edit
+	messages consider a line that begins with this character
+	commented, and removes them after the editor returns
+	(default '#').
++
+If set to "auto", `git-commit` would select a character that is not
+the beginning character of any line in existing commit messages.
+
+core.filesRefLockTimeout::
+	The length of time, in milliseconds, to retry when trying to
+	lock an individual reference. Value 0 means not to retry at
+	all; -1 means to try indefinitely. Default is 100 (i.e.,
+	retry for 100ms).
+
+core.packedRefsTimeout::
+	The length of time, in milliseconds, to retry when trying to
+	lock the `packed-refs` file. Value 0 means not to retry at
+	all; -1 means to try indefinitely. Default is 1000 (i.e.,
+	retry for 1 second).
+
+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
+	is the `$GIT_PAGER` environment variable, then `core.pager`
+	configuration, then `$PAGER`, and then the default chosen at
+	compile time (usually 'less').
++
+When the `LESS` environment variable is unset, Git sets it to `FRX`
+(if `LESS` environment variable is set, Git does not change it at
+all).  If you want to selectively override Git's default setting
+for `LESS`, you can set `core.pager` to e.g. `less -S`.  This will
+be passed to the shell by Git, which will translate the final
+command to `LESS=FRX less -S`. The environment does not set the
+`S` option but the command line does, instructing less to truncate
+long lines. Similarly, setting `core.pager` to `less -+F` will
+deactivate the `F` option specified by the environment from the
+command-line, deactivating the "quit if one screen" behavior of
+`less`.  One can specifically activate some flags for particular
+commands: for example, setting `pager.blame` to `less -S` enables
+line truncation only for `git blame`.
++
+Likewise, when the `LV` environment variable is unset, Git sets it
+to `-c`.  You can override this setting by exporting `LV` with
+another value or setting `core.pager` to `lv +c`.
+
+core.whitespace::
+	A comma separated list of common whitespace problems to
+	notice.  'git diff' will use `color.diff.whitespace` to
+	highlight them, and 'git apply --whitespace=error' will
+	consider them as errors.  You can prefix `-` to disable
+	any of them (e.g. `-trailing-space`):
++
+* `blank-at-eol` treats trailing whitespaces at the end of the line
+  as an error (enabled by default).
+* `space-before-tab` treats a space character that appears immediately
+  before a tab character in the initial indent part of the line as an
+  error (enabled by default).
+* `indent-with-non-tab` treats a line that is indented with space
+  characters instead of the equivalent tabs as an error (not enabled by
+  default).
+* `tab-in-indent` treats a tab character in the initial indent part of
+  the line as an error (not enabled by default).
+* `blank-at-eof` treats blank lines added at the end of file as an error
+  (enabled by default).
+* `trailing-space` is a short-hand to cover both `blank-at-eol` and
+  `blank-at-eof`.
+* `cr-at-eol` treats a carriage-return at the end of line as
+  part of the line terminator, i.e. with it, `trailing-space`
+  does not trigger if the character before such a carriage-return
+  is not a whitespace (not enabled by default).
+* `tabwidth=<n>` tells how many character positions a tab occupies; this
+  is relevant for `indent-with-non-tab` and when Git fixes `tab-in-indent`
+  errors. The default tab width is 8. Allowed values are 1 to 63.
+
+core.fsyncObjectFiles::
+	This boolean will enable 'fsync()' when writing object files.
++
+This is a total waste of time and effort on a filesystem that orders
+data writes properly, but can be useful for filesystems that do not use
+journalling (traditional UNIX filesystems) or that only journal metadata
+and not file contents (OS X's HFS+, or Linux ext3 with "data=writeback").
+
+core.preloadIndex::
+	Enable parallel index preload for operations like 'git diff'
++
+This can speed up operations like 'git diff' and 'git status' especially
+on filesystems like NFS that have weak caching semantics and thus
+relatively high IO latencies.  When enabled, Git will do the
+index comparison to the filesystem data in parallel, allowing
+overlapping IO's.  Defaults to true.
+
+core.createObject::
+	You can set this to 'link', in which case a hardlink followed by
+	a delete of the source are used to make sure that object creation
+	will not overwrite existing objects.
++
+On some file system/operating system combinations, this is unreliable.
+Set this config setting to 'rename' there; However, This will remove the
+check that makes sure that existing object files will not get overwritten.
+
+core.notesRef::
+	When showing commit messages, also show notes which are stored in
+	the given ref.  The ref must be fully qualified.  If the given
+	ref does not exist, it is not an error but means that no
+	notes should be printed.
++
+This setting defaults to "refs/notes/commits", and it can be overridden by
+the `GIT_NOTES_REF` environment variable.  See linkgit:git-notes[1].
+
+core.commitGraph::
+	If true, then git will read the commit-graph file (if it exists)
+	to parse the graph structure of commits. Defaults to false. See
+	linkgit:git-commit-graph[1] for more information.
+
+core.useReplaceRefs::
+	If set to `false`, behave as if the `--no-replace-objects`
+	option was given on the command line. See linkgit:git[1] and
+	linkgit:git-replace[1] for more information.
+
+core.multiPackIndex::
+	Use the multi-pack-index file to track multiple packfiles using a
+	single index. See link:technical/multi-pack-index.html[the
+	multi-pack-index design document].
+
+core.sparseCheckout::
+	Enable "sparse checkout" feature. See section "Sparse checkout" in
+	linkgit:git-read-tree[1] for more information.
+
+core.abbrev::
+	Set the length object names are abbreviated to.  If
+	unspecified or set to "auto", an appropriate value is
+	computed based on the approximate number of packed objects
+	in your repository, which hopefully is enough for
+	abbreviated object names to stay unique for some time.
+	The minimum length is 4.

+	branch. This option defaults to true.
+
+branch.autoSetupRebase::
+	When a new branch is created with 'git branch' or 'git checkout'
+	that tracks another branch, this variable tells Git to set
+	up pull to rebase instead of merge (see "branch.<name>.rebase").
+	When `never`, rebase is never automatically set to true.

+	See linkgit:git-for-each-ref[1] field names for valid values.
+
+branch.<name>.remote::
+	When on branch <name>, it tells 'git fetch' and 'git push'
+	which remote to fetch from/push to.  The remote to push to
+	may be overridden with `remote.pushDefault` (for all branches).
+	The remote to push to, for the current branch, may be further
+	overridden by `branch.<name>.pushRemote`.  If no remote is
+	configured, or if you are not on any branch, it defaults to
+	`origin` for fetching and `remote.pushDefault` for pushing.
+	Additionally, `.` (a period) is the current local repository
+	(a dot-repository), see `branch.<name>.merge`'s final note below.
+
+branch.<name>.pushRemote::
+	When on branch <name>, it overrides `branch.<name>.remote` for
+	pushing.  It also overrides `remote.pushDefault` for pushing
+	from branch <name>.  When you pull from one place (e.g. your
+	upstream) and push to another place (e.g. your own publishing
+	repository), you would want to set `remote.pushDefault` to
+	specify the remote to push to for all branches, and use this
+	option to override it for a specific branch.
+
+branch.<name>.merge::
+	Defines, together with branch.<name>.remote, the upstream branch
+	for the given branch. It tells 'git fetch'/'git pull'/'git rebase' which
+	branch to merge and can also affect 'git push' (see push.default).
+	When in branch <name>, it tells 'git fetch' the default
+	refspec to be marked for merging in FETCH_HEAD. The value is
+	handled like the remote part of a refspec, and must match a
+	ref which is fetched from the remote given by
+	"branch.<name>.remote".
+	The merge information is used by 'git pull' (which at first calls
+	'git fetch') to lookup the default branch for merging. Without
+	this option, 'git pull' defaults to merge the first refspec fetched.
+	Specify multiple values to get an octopus merge.
+	If you wish to setup 'git pull' so that it merges into <name> from
+	another branch in the local repository, you can point
+	branch.<name>.merge to the desired branch, and use the relative path
+	setting `.` (a period) for branch.<name>.remote.
+
+branch.<name>.mergeOptions::
+	Sets default options for merging into branch <name>. The syntax and
+	supported options are the same as those of linkgit:git-merge[1], but
+	option values containing whitespace characters are currently not
+	supported.
+
+branch.<name>.rebase::
+	When true, rebase the branch <name> on top of the fetched branch,
+	instead of merging the default branch from the default remote when
+	"git pull" is run. See "pull.rebase" for doing this in a non
+	branch-specific manner.
++
+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'.
++
+When the value is `interactive`, the rebase is run in interactive mode.
++
+*NOTE*: this is a possibly dangerous operation; do *not* use
+it unless you understand the implications (see linkgit:git-rebase[1]

+color.advice::
+	A boolean to enable/disable color in hints (e.g. when a push
+	failed, see `advice.*` for a list).  May be set to `always`,
+	`false` (or `never`) or `auto` (or `true`), in which case colors
+	are used only when the error output goes to a terminal. If
+	unset, then the value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default).
+
+color.advice.hint::
+	Use customized color for hints.
+
+color.blame.highlightRecent::
+	This can be used to color the metadata of a blame line depending
+	on age of the line.
++
+This setting should be set to a comma-separated list of color and date settings,
+starting and ending with a color, the dates should be set from oldest to newest.
+The metadata will be colored given the colors if the the line was introduced
+before the given timestamp, overwriting older timestamped colors.
++
+Instead of an absolute timestamp relative timestamps work as well, e.g.
+2.weeks.ago is valid to address anything older than 2 weeks.
++
+It defaults to 'blue,12 month ago,white,1 month ago,red', which colors
+everything older than one year blue, recent changes between one month and
+one year old are kept white, and lines introduced within the last month are
+colored red.
+
+color.blame.repeatedLines::
+	Use the customized color for the part of git-blame output that
+	is repeated meta information per line (such as commit id,
+	author name, date and timezone). Defaults to cyan.
+
+color.branch::
+	A boolean to enable/disable color in the output of
+	linkgit:git-branch[1]. May be set to `always`,
+	`false` (or `never`) or `auto` (or `true`), in which case colors are used
+	only when the output is to a terminal. If unset, then the
+	value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default).
+
+color.branch.<slot>::
+	Use customized color for branch coloration. `<slot>` is one of
+	`current` (the current branch), `local` (a local branch),
+	`remote` (a remote-tracking branch in refs/remotes/),
+	`upstream` (upstream tracking branch), `plain` (other
+	refs).
+
+color.diff::
+	Whether to use ANSI escape sequences to add color to patches.
+	If this is set to `always`, linkgit:git-diff[1],
+	linkgit:git-log[1], and linkgit:git-show[1] will use color
+	for all patches.  If it is set to `true` or `auto`, those
+	commands will only use color when output is to the terminal.
+	If unset, then the value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by
+	default).
++
+This does not affect linkgit:git-format-patch[1] or the
+'git-diff-{asterisk}' plumbing commands.  Can be overridden on the
+command line with the `--color[=<when>]` option.
+
+color.diff.<slot>::

+	`never`), never.  When set to `true` or `auto`, use color only
+	when the output is written to the terminal.  If unset, then the
+	value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default).

+
+color.pager::

+color.transport::
+	A boolean to enable/disable color when pushes are rejected. May be

+	case colors are used only when the error output goes to a terminal.
+	If unset, then the value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default).
+
+color.transport.rejected::
+	Use customized color when a push was rejected.
+
+color.ui::
+	This variable determines the default value for variables such
+	as `color.diff` and `color.grep` that control the use of color
+	per command family. Its scope will expand as more commands learn
+	configuration to set a default for the `--color` option.  Set it
+	to `false` or `never` if you prefer Git commands not to use
+	color unless enabled explicitly with some other configuration
+	or the `--color` option. Set it to `always` if you want all

-gc.aggressiveDepth::
-	The depth parameter used in the delta compression
-	algorithm used by 'git gc --aggressive'.  This defaults
-	to 50.
-
-gc.aggressiveWindow::
-	The window size parameter used in the delta compression
-	algorithm used by 'git gc --aggressive'.  This defaults
-	to 250.
-
-gc.auto::
-	When there are approximately more than this many loose
-	objects in the repository, `git gc --auto` will pack them.
-	Some Porcelain commands use this command to perform a
-	light-weight garbage collection from time to time.  The
-	default value is 6700.  Setting this to 0 disables it.
-
-gc.autoPackLimit::
-	When there are more than this many packs that are not
-	marked with `*.keep` file in the repository, `git gc
-	--auto` consolidates them into one larger pack.  The
-	default	value is 50.  Setting this to 0 disables it.
-
-gc.autoDetach::
-	Make `git gc --auto` return immediately and run in background
-	if the system supports it. Default is true.
-
-gc.bigPackThreshold::
-	If non-zero, all packs larger than this limit are kept when
-	`git gc` is run. This is very similar to `--keep-base-pack`
-	except that all packs that meet the threshold are kept, not
-	just the base pack. Defaults to zero. Common unit suffixes of
-	'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
-+
-Note that if the number of kept packs is more than gc.autoPackLimit,
-this configuration variable is ignored, all packs except the base pack
-will be repacked. After this the number of packs should go below
-gc.autoPackLimit and gc.bigPackThreshold should be respected again.
-
-gc.writeCommitGraph::
-	If true, then gc will rewrite the commit-graph file when
-	linkgit:git-gc[1] is run. When using linkgit:git-gc[1]
-	'--auto' the commit-graph will be updated if housekeeping is
-	required. Default is false. See linkgit:git-commit-graph[1]
-	for details.
-
-gc.logExpiry::
-	If the file gc.log exists, then `git gc --auto` will print
-	its content and exit with status zero instead of running
-	unless that file is more than 'gc.logExpiry' old.  Default is
-	"1.day".  See `gc.pruneExpire` for more ways to specify its
-	value.
-
-gc.packRefs::
-	Running `git pack-refs` in a repository renders it
-	unclonable by Git versions prior to 1.5.1.2 over dumb
-	transports such as HTTP.  This variable determines whether
-	'git gc' runs `git pack-refs`. This can be set to `notbare`
-	to enable it within all non-bare repos or it can be set to a
-	boolean value.  The default is `true`.
-
-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, or "never" may be used to
-	suppress pruning.  This feature helps prevent corruption when
-	'git gc' runs concurrently with another process writing to the
-	repository; see the "NOTES" section of linkgit:git-gc[1].
-
-gc.worktreePruneExpire::
-	When 'git gc' is run, it calls
-	'git worktree prune --expire 3.months.ago'.
-	This config variable can be used to set a different grace

+gc.aggressiveDepth::
+	The depth parameter used in the delta compression
+	algorithm used by 'git gc --aggressive'.  This defaults
+	to 50.
+
+gc.aggressiveWindow::
+	The window size parameter used in the delta compression
+	algorithm used by 'git gc --aggressive'.  This defaults
+	to 250.
+
+gc.auto::
+	When there are approximately more than this many loose
+	objects in the repository, `git gc --auto` will pack them.
+	Some Porcelain commands use this command to perform a
+	light-weight garbage collection from time to time.  The
+	default value is 6700.  Setting this to 0 disables it.
+
+gc.autoPackLimit::
+	When there are more than this many packs that are not
+	marked with `*.keep` file in the repository, `git gc
+	--auto` consolidates them into one larger pack.  The
+	default	value is 50.  Setting this to 0 disables it.
+
+gc.autoDetach::
+	Make `git gc --auto` return immediately and run in background
+	if the system supports it. Default is true.
+
+gc.bigPackThreshold::
+	If non-zero, all packs larger than this limit are kept when
+	`git gc` is run. This is very similar to `--keep-base-pack`
+	except that all packs that meet the threshold are kept, not
+	just the base pack. Defaults to zero. Common unit suffixes of
+	'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
++
+Note that if the number of kept packs is more than gc.autoPackLimit,
+this configuration variable is ignored, all packs except the base pack
+will be repacked. After this the number of packs should go below
+gc.autoPackLimit and gc.bigPackThreshold should be respected again.
+
+gc.writeCommitGraph::
+	If true, then gc will rewrite the commit-graph file when
+	linkgit:git-gc[1] is run. When using linkgit:git-gc[1]
+	'--auto' the commit-graph will be updated if housekeeping is
+	required. Default is false. See linkgit:git-commit-graph[1]
+	for details.
+
+gc.logExpiry::
+	If the file gc.log exists, then `git gc --auto` will print
+	its content and exit with status zero instead of running
+	unless that file is more than 'gc.logExpiry' old.  Default is
+	"1.day".  See `gc.pruneExpire` for more ways to specify its
+	value.
+
+gc.packRefs::
+	Running `git pack-refs` in a repository renders it
+	unclonable by Git versions prior to 1.5.1.2 over dumb
+	transports such as HTTP.  This variable determines whether
+	'git gc' runs `git pack-refs`. This can be set to `notbare`
+	to enable it within all non-bare repos or it can be set to a
+	boolean value.  The default is `true`.
+
+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, or "never" may be used to
+	suppress pruning.  This feature helps prevent corruption when
+	'git gc' runs concurrently with another process writing to the
+	repository; see the "NOTES" section of linkgit:git-gc[1].
+
+gc.worktreePruneExpire::
+	When 'git gc' is run, it calls
+	'git worktree prune --expire 3.months.ago'.
+	This config variable can be used to set a different grace
+	period. The value "now" may be used to disable the grace
+	period and prune `$GIT_DIR/worktrees` immediately, or "never"
+	may be used to suppress pruning.
+
+gc.reflogExpire::
+gc.<pattern>.reflogExpire::
+	'git reflog expire' removes reflog entries older than
+	this time; defaults to 90 days. The value "now" expires all
+	entries immediately, and "never" suppresses expiration
+	altogether. With "<pattern>" (e.g.
+	"refs/stash") in the middle the setting applies only to
+	the refs that match the <pattern>.

+gc.reflogExpireUnreachable::
+gc.<pattern>.reflogExpireUnreachable::
+	'git reflog expire' removes reflog entries older than
+	this time and are not reachable from the current tip;

+ssh.variant::
+	By default, Git determines the command line arguments to use
+	based on the basename of the configured SSH command (configured
+	using the environment variable `GIT_SSH` or `GIT_SSH_COMMAND` or
+	the config setting `core.sshCommand`). If the basename is
+	unrecognized, Git will attempt to detect support of OpenSSH
+	options by first invoking the configured SSH command with the
+	`-G` (print configuration) option and will subsequently use
+	OpenSSH options (if that is successful) or no options besides
+	the host and remote command (if it fails).
++
+The config variable `ssh.variant` can be set to override this detection.
+Valid values are `ssh` (to use OpenSSH options), `plink`, `putty`,
+`tortoiseplink`, `simple` (no options except the host and remote command).
+The default auto-detection can be explicitly requested using the value
+`auto`.  Any other value is treated as `ssh`.  This setting can also be
+overridden via the environment variable `GIT_SSH_VARIANT`.
++
+The current command-line parameters used for each variant are as
+follows:
++
+--
+
+* `ssh` - [-p port] [-4] [-6] [-o option] [username@]host command
+
+* `simple` - [username@]host command
+
+* `plink` or `putty` - [-P port] [-4] [-6] [username@]host command
+
+* `tortoiseplink` - [-P port] [-4] [-6] -batch [username@]host command

-	of one pack, so that the objects from the specified island are
-	hopefully faster to copy into any pack that should be served
-	to a user requesting these objects. In practice this means

-
-pack.deltaCacheSize::
-	The maximum memory in bytes used for caching deltas in
-	linkgit:git-pack-objects[1] before writing them out to a pack.
-	This cache is used to speed up the writing object phase by not
-	having to recompute the final delta result once the best match
-	for all objects is found.  Repacking large repositories on machines
-	which are tight with memory might be badly impacted by this though,

-	Specifies the number of threads to spawn when searching for best

-pack.indexVersion::
-	Specify the default pack index version.  Valid values are 1 for
-	legacy pack index used by Git versions prior to 1.5.2, and 2 for
-	the new pack index with capabilities for packs larger than 4 GB
-	as well as proper protection against the repacking of corrupted

-If you have an old Git that does not understand the version 2 `*.idx` file,
-cloning or fetching over a non native protocol (e.g. "http")
-that will copy both `*.pack` file and corresponding `*.idx` file from the

-older version of Git. If the `*.pack` file is smaller than 2 GB, however,
-you can use linkgit:git-index-pack[1] on the *.pack file to regenerate
-the `*.idx` file.
-
-pack.packSizeLimit::
-	The maximum size of a pack.  This setting only affects
-	packing to a file when repacking, i.e. the git:// protocol
-	is unaffected.  It can be overridden by the `--max-pack-size`
-	option of linkgit:git-repack[1].  Reaching this limit results
-	in the creation of multiple packfiles; which in turn prevents
-	bitmaps from being created.
-	The minimum size allowed is limited to 1 MiB.
-	The default is unlimited.
-	Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are
-	supported.
-
-pack.useBitmaps::
-	When true, git will use pack bitmaps (if available) when packing

-pack.writeBitmaps (deprecated)::
-	This is a deprecated synonym for `repack.writeBitmaps`.
-
-pack.writeBitmapHashCache::
-	When true, git will include a "hash cache" section in the bitmap

-	delta heuristics, potentially leading to better deltas between
-	bitmapped and non-bitmapped objects (e.g., when serving a fetch
-	between an older, bitmapped pack and objects that have been
-	pushed since the last gc). The downside is that it consumes 4
-	bytes per object of disk space, and that JGit's bitmap

I had a slight bias against this when you started this, since I'm one of
these odd people who don't mind ~20k line files if the line count isn't
contributing to inherent complexity, e.g. in the case of config.txt you
could just use the search function all in one file.

But FWIW I've changed my mind to as strong opinion in favor this series,
because an actual annoyance of mine has been how inconsistently we
document config variables affecting individual commands.

I.e. in some cases we have somecmd.switch=xyz that's also a --switch
described in git-somecmd(1), and the --switch docs are more exhaustive,
or the other way around.

And sometimes like in the case of git-gc(1) we have gc.* config
documented in two places with different prose that needs to be updated
in two places in a CONFIGURATION section. This series allows us to just
unify the two and do an "include" in two places, and more generally have
the convention that a given command that uses configuration could have
that config both documented in git-config(1), and the same docs in its
own manpage.

I did see the possibility of including command-specific config in
individual command man page. But I'm not planning on doing it myself.
Some command man page is already pretty long, plus sometimes we rely
on the core.* part which should not be included in per-command man
page...

I might follow-up with some of that after this lands then. We wouldn't
include all config (including core.*) that affects the command, but just
command-specific stuff like gc.* or worktree.*.

Due to limitations of ASCIIDOC link syntax we often just mention "blah
blah can be also configured as somecmd.config, see
linkgit:git-config[1]", e.g. one example I recently added is at:
https://git-scm.com/docs/git-fetch#_pruning

Then the user clicks on that, and ends up in this giant manpage and they
need to use their browser search. Both far that web experience and for
reading with "man" it would be nicer to be able to say "see the
CONFIGURATION section below" which would have that included.

But arguably better would be consistently being able to know where the
primary documentation is. E.g. for worktree.guessRemote (not picking on
you in particular, it was just easy because worktree.* is only one
config var) we have:

in git-config(1):

    worktree.guessRemote::
    	With `add`, if no branch argument, and neither of `-b` nor
    	`-B` nor `--detach` are given, the command defaults to
    	creating a new branch from HEAD.  If `worktree.guessRemote` is
    	set to true, `worktree add` tries to find a remote-tracking
    	branch whose name uniquely matches the new branch name.  If
    	such a branch exists, it is checked out and set as "upstream"
    	for the new branch.  If no such match can be found, it falls
    	back to creating a new branch from the current HEAD.

In git-worktree(1)

    --[no-]guess-remote::
    	With `worktree add <path>`, without `<commit-ish>`, instead
    	of creating a new branch from HEAD, if there exists a tracking
    	branch in exactly one remote matching the basename of `<path>`,
    	base the new branch on the remote-tracking branch, and mark
    	the remote-tracking branch as "upstream" from the new branch.
    +
    This can also be set up as the default behaviour by using the
    `worktree.guessRemote` config option.

Mostly they're saying the same, but all in different words, so you need
to carefully read both to really make sure you got it. There's many of
those cases, would be good if we could unify all or most of them.

After typing "less Documentation/config.txt" and realizing that I
have to open another file (which one?) to find how we described the
push.default config, I am already experiencing a lot stronger bias
against this.

But I know it will pass.  Once this ~60 patch series completes, my
irritation would peak, because at that point I would not be able to
even do "git grep push.config Documentation/config*", but I would no
longer be reaching for "less Documentation/config.txt" anymore at
that point.  Once Documentation/$group-config.txt (which I think is
a mistake) are renamed to Documentation/$something/$group.txt, then
I know I can do "less Doc<TAB>/$some<TAB>/$gro<TAB>" to get my ease
of use back.  There will still be an annoyance caused by having to
open another file when reading description of branch.<name>.merge in
branch-config.txt and seeing a reference to push.default, though.

And the end result makes it impossible to place a description of a
new variable in a wrong section.  It still is possible to mistakenly
insert a variable in a wrong place in the right section that
requires a fix like 8578037b ("config.txt: reorder blame stuff to
keep config keys sorted", 2018-08-04), but we do not fix all the
problems under the sky in one series ;-).

So after saying all of the above, I am moderately supportive of this
series.

I'll wait for js/mingw-http-ssl to land, move http.* out then rename
them all to Documentation/config/$group.txt then. I'll fix up makefile
dependencies then too.

Have you considered to use config as a prefix, i.e.
have config-add.txt instead of add-config.txt ?

currently any command is documented in a file
that is prefixed with "git-". There are others such as
gitcli or gitsubmodules, but as they lack the '-' they
surely are not about a command.

With the config- prefix it would be easier to sort and
cope with the individual files, and it would allow
grepping through Documentation/conf* (which may
be easier than Documentation/*conf* or similar)

I have no strong objection to the series as is
(I have not looked at any patch), but I would think
either a config directory or prefix may help further.
