+receive.advertiseAtomic::
+ By default, git-receive-pack will advertise the atomic push
+ capability to its clients. If you don't want to advertise this
+ capability, set this variable to false.
+
+receive.advertisePushOptions::
+ When set to true, git-receive-pack will advertise the push options
+ capability to its clients. False by default.
+
+receive.autogc::
+ By default, git-receive-pack will run "git-gc --auto" after
+ receiving data from git-push and updating refs. You can stop
+ it by setting this variable to false.
+
+receive.certNonceSeed::
+ By setting this variable to a string, `git receive-pack`
+ will accept a `git push --signed` and verifies it by using
+ a "nonce" protected by HMAC using this string as a secret
+ key.
+
+receive.certNonceSlop::
+ When a `git push --signed` sent a push certificate with a
+ "nonce" that was issued by a receive-pack serving the same
+ repository within this many seconds, export the "nonce"
+ found in the certificate to `GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE` to the
+ hooks (instead of what the receive-pack asked the sending
+ side to include). This may allow writing checks in
+ `pre-receive` and `post-receive` a bit easier. Instead of
+ checking `GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_SLOP` environment variable
+ that records by how many seconds the nonce is stale to
+ decide if they want to accept the certificate, they only
+ can check `GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_STATUS` is `OK`.
+
+receive.fsckObjects::
+ If it is set to true, git-receive-pack will check all received
+ objects. See `transfer.fsckObjects` for what's checked.
+ Defaults to false. If not set, the value of
+ `transfer.fsckObjects` is used instead.
+
+receive.fsck.<msg-id>::
+ Acts like `fsck.<msg-id>`, but is used by
+ linkgit:git-receive-pack[1] instead of
+ linkgit:git-fsck[1]. See the `fsck.<msg-id>` documentation for
+ details.
+
+receive.fsck.skipList::
+ Acts like `fsck.skipList`, but is used by
+ linkgit:git-receive-pack[1] instead of
+ linkgit:git-fsck[1]. See the `fsck.skipList` documentation for
+ details.
+
+receive.keepAlive::
+ After receiving the pack from the client, `receive-pack` may
+ produce no output (if `--quiet` was specified) while processing
+ the pack, causing some networks to drop the TCP connection.
+ With this option set, if `receive-pack` does not transmit
+ any data in this phase for `receive.keepAlive` seconds, it will
+ send a short keepalive packet. The default is 5 seconds; set
+ to 0 to disable keepalives entirely.
+
+receive.unpackLimit::
+ If the number of objects received in a push is below this
+ limit then the objects will be unpacked into loose object
+ files. However if the number of received objects equals or
+ exceeds this limit then the received pack will be stored as
+ a pack, after adding any missing delta bases. Storing the
+ pack from a push can make the push operation complete faster,
+ especially on slow filesystems. If not set, the value of
+ `transfer.unpackLimit` is used instead.
+
+receive.maxInputSize::
+ If the size of the incoming pack stream is larger than this
+ limit, then git-receive-pack will error out, instead of
+ accepting the pack file. If not set or set to 0, then the size
+ is unlimited.
+
+receive.denyDeletes::
+ If set to true, git-receive-pack will deny a ref update that deletes
+ the ref. Use this to prevent such a ref deletion via a push.
+
+receive.denyDeleteCurrent::
+ If set to true, git-receive-pack will deny a ref update that
+ deletes the currently checked out branch of a non-bare repository.
+
+receive.denyCurrentBranch::
+ If set to true or "refuse", git-receive-pack will deny a ref update
+ to the currently checked out branch of a non-bare repository.
+ Such a push is potentially dangerous because it brings the HEAD
+ out of sync with the index and working tree. If set to "warn",
+ print a warning of such a push to stderr, but allow the push to
+ proceed. If set to false or "ignore", allow such pushes with no
+ message. Defaults to "refuse".
++
+Another option is "updateInstead" which will update the working
+tree if pushing into the current branch. This option is
+intended for synchronizing working directories when one side is not easily
+accessible via interactive ssh (e.g. a live web site, hence the requirement
+that the working directory be clean). This mode also comes in handy when
+developing inside a VM to test and fix code on different Operating Systems.
++
+By default, "updateInstead" will refuse the push if the working tree or
+the index have any difference from the HEAD, but the `push-to-checkout`
+hook can be used to customize this. See linkgit:githooks[5].
+
+receive.denyNonFastForwards::
+ If set to true, git-receive-pack will deny a ref update which is
+ not a fast-forward. Use this to prevent such an update via a push,
+ even if that push is forced. This configuration variable is
+ set when initializing a shared repository.
+
+receive.hideRefs::
+ This variable is the same as `transfer.hideRefs`, but applies
+ only to `receive-pack` (and so affects pushes, but not fetches).
+ An attempt to update or delete a hidden ref by `git push` is
+ rejected.
+
+receive.procReceiveRefs::
+ This is a multi-valued variable that defines reference prefixes
+ to match the commands in `receive-pack`. Commands matching the
+ prefixes will be executed by an external hook "proc-receive",
+ instead of the internal `execute_commands` function. If this
+ variable is not defined, the "proc-receive" hook will never be
+ used, and all commands will be executed by the internal
+ `execute_commands` function.
++
+For example, if this variable is set to "refs/for", pushing to reference
+such as "refs/for/master" will not create or update a reference named
+"refs/for/master", but may create or update a pull request directly by
+running the hook "proc-receive".
++
+Optional modifiers can be provided in the beginning of the value to filter
+commands for specific actions: create (a), modify (m), delete (d).
+A `!` can be included in the modifiers to negate the reference prefix entry.
+E.g.:
++
+ git config --system --add receive.procReceiveRefs ad:refs/heads
+ git config --system --add receive.procReceiveRefs !:refs/heads
+
+receive.updateServerInfo::
+ If set to true, git-receive-pack will run git-update-server-info
+ after receiving data from git-push and updating refs.
+
+receive.shallowUpdate::
+ If set to true, .git/shallow can be updated when new refs
+ require new shallow roots. Otherwise those refs are rejected.
