+gc.aggressiveDepth::
+	The depth parameter used in the delta compression
+	algorithm used by 'git gc --aggressive'.  This defaults
+	to 50, which is the default for the `--depth` option when
+	`--aggressive` isn't in use.
++
+See the documentation for the `--depth` option in
+linkgit:git-repack[1] for more details.
+
+gc.aggressiveWindow::
+	The window size parameter used in the delta compression
+	algorithm used by 'git gc --aggressive'.  This defaults
+	to 250, which is a much more aggressive window size than
+	the default `--window` of 10.
++
+See the documentation for the `--window` option in
+linkgit:git-repack[1] for more details.
+
+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 not only automatic packing based on the
+number of loose objects, but any other heuristic `git gc --auto` will
+otherwise use to determine if there's work to do, such as
+`gc.autoPackLimit`.
+
+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.
+	Setting `gc.auto` to 0 will also disable this.
++
+See the `gc.bigPackThreshold` configuration variable below. When in
+use, it'll affect how the auto pack limit works.
+
+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-largest-pack`
+	except that all packs that meet the threshold are kept, not
+	just the largest 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.
++
+If the amount of memory estimated for `git repack` to run smoothly is
+not available and `gc.bigPackThreshold` is not set, the largest pack
+will also be excluded (this is the equivalent of running `git gc` with
+`--keep-largest-pack`).
+
+gc.writeCommitGraph::
+	If true, then gc will rewrite the commit-graph file when
+	linkgit:git-gc[1] is run. When using `git gc --auto`
+	the commit-graph will be updated if housekeeping is
+	required. Default is true. 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.cruftPacks::
+	Store unreachable objects in a cruft pack (see
+	linkgit:git-repack[1]) instead of as loose objects. The default
+	is `false`.
+
+gc.pruneExpire::
+	When 'git gc' is run, it will call 'prune --expire 2.weeks.ago'
+	(and 'repack --cruft --cruft-expiration 2.weeks.ago' if using
+	cruft packs via `gc.cruftPacks` or `--cruft`).  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;
+	defaults to 30 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>.
++
+These types of entries are generally created as a result of using `git
+commit --amend` or `git rebase` and are the commits prior to the amend
+or rebase occurring.  Since these changes are not part of the current
+project most users will want to expire them sooner, which is why the
+default is more aggressive than `gc.reflogExpire`.
+
+gc.rerereResolved::
+	Records of conflicted merge you resolved earlier are
+	kept for this many days when 'git rerere gc' is run.
+	You can also use more human-readable "1.month.ago", etc.
+	The default is 60 days.  See linkgit:git-rerere[1].
+
+gc.rerereUnresolved::
+	Records of conflicted merge you have not resolved are
+	kept for this many days when 'git rerere gc' is run.
+	You can also use more human-readable "1.month.ago", etc.
+	The default is 15 days.  See linkgit:git-rerere[1].
