+feature.*::
+ The config settings that start with `feature.` modify the defaults of
+ a group of other config settings. These groups are created by the Git
+ developer community as recommended defaults and are subject to change.
+ In particular, new config options may be added with different defaults.
+
+feature.experimental::
+ Enable config options that are new to Git, and are being considered for
+ future defaults. Config settings included here may be added or removed
+ with each release, including minor version updates. These settings may
+ have unintended interactions since they are so new. Please enable this
+ setting if you are interested in providing feedback on experimental
+ features. The new default values are:
++
+* `fetch.negotiationAlgorithm=skipping` may improve fetch negotiation times by
+skipping more commits at a time, reducing the number of round trips.
++
+* `pack.useBitmapBoundaryTraversal=true` may improve bitmap traversal times by
+walking fewer objects.
+
+feature.manyFiles::
+ Enable config options that optimize for repos with many files in the
+ working directory. With many files, commands such as `git status` and
+ `git checkout` may be slow and these new defaults improve performance:
++
+* `index.skipHash=true` speeds up index writes by not computing a trailing
+ checksum. Note that this will cause Git versions earlier than 2.13.0 to
+ refuse to parse the index and Git versions earlier than 2.40.0 will report
+ a corrupted index during `git fsck`.
++
+* `index.version=4` enables path-prefix compression in the index.
++
+* `core.untrackedCache=true` enables the untracked cache. This setting assumes
+that mtime is working on your machine.
