+notes.mergeStrategy::
+ Which merge strategy to choose by default when resolving notes
+ conflicts. Must be one of `manual`, `ours`, `theirs`, `union`, or
+ `cat_sort_uniq`. Defaults to `manual`. See "NOTES MERGE STRATEGIES"
+ section of linkgit:git-notes[1] for more information on each strategy.
++
+This setting can be overridden by passing the `--strategy` option to
+linkgit:git-notes[1].
+
+notes.<name>.mergeStrategy::
+ Which merge strategy to choose when doing a notes merge into
+ refs/notes/<name>. This overrides the more general
+ "notes.mergeStrategy". See the "NOTES MERGE STRATEGIES" section in
+ linkgit:git-notes[1] for more information on the available strategies.
+
+notes.displayRef::
+ Which ref (or refs, if a glob or specified more than once), in
+ addition to the default set by `core.notesRef` or
+ `GIT_NOTES_REF`, to read notes from when showing commit
+ messages with the 'git log' family of commands.
++
+This setting can be overridden with the `GIT_NOTES_DISPLAY_REF`
+environment variable, which must be a colon separated list of refs or
+globs.
++
+A warning will be issued for refs that do not exist,
+but a glob that does not match any refs is silently ignored.
++
+This setting can be disabled by the `--no-notes` option to the 'git
+log' family of commands, or by the `--notes=<ref>` option accepted by
+those commands.
++
+The effective value of "core.notesRef" (possibly overridden by
+GIT_NOTES_REF) is also implicitly added to the list of refs to be
+displayed.
+
+notes.rewrite.<command>::
+ When rewriting commits with <command> (currently `amend` or
+ `rebase`), if this variable is `false`, git will not copy
+ notes from the original to the rewritten commit. Defaults to
+ `true`. See also "`notes.rewriteRef`" below.
++
+This setting can be overridden with the `GIT_NOTES_REWRITE_REF`
+environment variable, which must be a colon separated list of refs or
+globs.
+
+notes.rewriteMode::
+ When copying notes during a rewrite (see the
+ "notes.rewrite.<command>" option), determines what to do if
+ the target commit already has a note. Must be one of
+ `overwrite`, `concatenate`, `cat_sort_uniq`, or `ignore`.
+ Defaults to `concatenate`.
++
+This setting can be overridden with the `GIT_NOTES_REWRITE_MODE`
+environment variable.
+
+notes.rewriteRef::
+ When copying notes during a rewrite, specifies the (fully
+ qualified) ref whose notes should be copied. May be a glob,
+ in which case notes in all matching refs will be copied. You
+ may also specify this configuration several times.
++
+Does not have a default value; you must configure this variable to
+enable note rewriting. Set it to `refs/notes/commits` to enable
+rewriting for the default commit notes.
++
+Can be overridden with the `GIT_NOTES_REWRITE_REF` environment variable.
+See `notes.rewrite.<command>` above for a further description of its format.
