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.fsmonitorHookVersion:: + Sets the version of hook that is to be used when calling fsmonitor. + There are currently versions 1 and 2.

Version 1 uses a timestamp as input to determine + which files have changes since that time but some monitors + like watchman have race conditions when used with a timestamp. + Version 2 uses an opaque string so that the monitor can return + something that can be used to determine what files have changed + without race conditions. + +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, unless + `feature.manyFiles` is enabled which sets this setting to + `true` 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 are marked as text (either by having the `text` + attribute set, or by having `text=auto` and Git auto-detecting + the contents as text). + 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. Note that this value is ignored if `core.autocrlf` + is set to `true` or `input`. + +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 produced 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 per thread 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.unsetenvvars:: + Windows-only: comma-separated list of environment variables' + names that need to be unset before spawning any other process. + Defaults to `PERL5LIB` to account for the fact that Git for + Windows insists on using its own Perl interpreter. + +core.restrictinheritedhandles:: + Windows-only: override whether spawned processes inherit only standard + file handles (`stdin`, `stdout` and `stderr`) or all handles. Can be + `auto`, `true` or `false`. Defaults to `auto`, which means `true` on + Windows 7 and later, and `false` on older Windows versions. + +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 true. 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 linkgit:git-multi-pack-index[1] for more + information. Defaults to true. + +core.sparseCheckout:: + Enable "sparse checkout" feature. See linkgit:git-sparse-checkout[1] + for more information. + +core.sparseCheckoutCone:: + Enables the "cone mode" of the sparse checkout feature.

This may be necessary, for instance, if + connecting through a firewall that restricts HTTP connections to a set + of common USER_AGENT strings (but not including those like git/1.7.1). + Can be overridden by the `GIT_HTTP_USER_AGENT` environment variable. + +http.followRedirects:: + Whether git should follow HTTP redirects. If set to `true`, git + will transparently follow any redirect issued by a server it + encounters. If set to `false`, git will treat all redirects as + errors. If set to `initial`, git will follow redirects only for + the initial request to a remote, but not for subsequent + follow-up HTTP requests. Since git uses the redirected URL as + the base for the follow-up requests, this is generally + sufficient. The default is `initial`. + +http.<url>.*:: + Any of the http.* options above can be applied selectively to some URLs. + For a config key to match a URL, each element of the config key is + compared to that of the URL, in the following order: ++ +-- +. Scheme (e.g., `https` in `https://example.com/`). This field + must match exactly between the config key and the URL. + +. Host/domain name (e.g., `example.com` in `https://example.com/`). + This field must match between the config key and the URL. It is + possible to specify a `*` as part of the host name to match all subdomains + at this level. `https://*.example.com/` for example would match + `https://foo.example.com/`, but not `https://foo.bar.example.com/`. + +. Port number (e.g., `8080` in `http://example.com:8080/`). + This field must match exactly between the config key and the URL. + Omitted port numbers are automatically converted to the correct + default for the scheme before matching. + +. Path (e.g., `repo.git` in `https://example.com/repo.git`). The + path field of the config key must match the path field of the URL + either exactly or as a prefix of slash-delimited path elements. This means + a config key with path `foo/` matches URL path `foo/bar`. A prefix can only + match on a slash (`/`) boundary. Longer matches take precedence (so a config + key with path `foo/bar` is a better match to URL path `foo/bar` than a config + key with just path `foo/`). + +. User name (e.g., `user` in `https://user@example.com/repo.git`). If + the config key has a user name it must match the user name in the + URL exactly. If the config key does not have a user name, that + config key will match a URL with any user name (including none), + but at a lower precedence than a config key with a user name. +-- ++ +The list above is ordered by decreasing precedence; a URL that matches +a config key's path is preferred to one that matches its user name. For example, +if the URL is `https://user@example.com/foo/bar` a config key match of +`https://example.com/foo` will be preferred over a config key match of +`https://user@example.com`. ++ +All URLs are normalized before attempting any matching (the password part, +if embedded in the URL, is always ignored for matching purposes) so that +equivalent URLs that are simply spelled differently will match properly. +Environment variable settings always override any matches. The URLs that are +matched against are those given directly to Git commands. This means any URLs +visited as a result of a redirection do not participate in matching. diff --git a/Documentation/config/i18n.txt b/Documentation/config/i18n.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..cc25621 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/config/i18n.txt @@ -0,0 +1,10 @@ +i18n.commitEncoding:: + Character encoding the commit messages are stored in; Git itself + does not care per se, but this information is necessary e.g. when + importing commits from emails or in the gitk graphical history + browser (and possibly at other places in the future or in other + porcelains).

If that is + not set, defaults to -1, the zlib default, which is "a default + compromise between speed and compression (currently equivalent + to level 6)." ++ +Note that changing the compression level will not automatically recompress +all existing objects. You can force recompression by passing the -F option +to linkgit:git-repack[1]. + +pack.allowPackReuse:: + When true, and when reachability bitmaps are enabled, + pack-objects will try to send parts of the bitmapped packfile + verbatim. This can reduce memory and CPU usage to serve fetches, + but might result in sending a slightly larger pack. Defaults to + true. + +pack.island:: + An extended regular expression configuring a set of delta + islands. See "DELTA ISLANDS" in linkgit:git-pack-objects[1] + for details. + +pack.islandCore:: + Specify an island name which gets to have its objects be + packed first. This creates a kind of pseudo-pack at the front + 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 + that the island specified should likely correspond to what is + the most commonly cloned in the repo. See also "DELTA ISLANDS" + in linkgit:git-pack-objects[1]. + +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, + especially if this cache pushes the system into swapping. + A value of 0 means no limit. The smallest size of 1 byte may be + used to virtually disable this cache. Defaults to 256 MiB. + +pack.deltaCacheLimit:: + The maximum size of a delta, that is cached in + linkgit:git-pack-objects[1]. 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. + Defaults to 1000. Maximum value is 65535. + +pack.threads:: + Specifies the number of threads to spawn when searching for best + delta matches. This requires that linkgit:git-pack-objects[1] + be compiled with pthreads otherwise this option is ignored with a + warning. This is meant to reduce packing time on multiprocessor + machines. The required amount of memory for the delta search window + is however multiplied by the number of threads. + Specifying 0 will cause Git to auto-detect the number of CPU's + and set the number of threads accordingly. + +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 + packs. Version 2 is the default. Note that version 2 is enforced + and this config option ignored whenever the corresponding pack is + larger than 2 GB. ++ +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 +other side may give you a repository that cannot be accessed with your +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 + to stdout (e.g., during the server side of a fetch). Defaults to + true. You should not generally need to turn this off unless + you are debugging pack bitmaps. + +pack.useSparse:: + When true, git will default to using the '--sparse' option in + 'git pack-objects' when the '--revs' option is present. This + algorithm only walks trees that appear in paths that introduce new + objects. This can have significant performance benefits when + computing a pack to send a small change. However, it is possible + that extra objects are added to the pack-file if the included + commits contain certain types of direct renames. Default is + `true`. + +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 + index (if one is written). This cache can be used to feed git's + 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.
