+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 gitlink:git-add[1] or gitlink:git-merge[1].
++
+This setting is automatically guessed by gitlink:git-clone[1] or
+gitlink: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).

slowest.
core.legacyheaders::
- A boolean which enables the legacy object header format in case
- you want to interoperate with old clients accessing the object
- database directly (where the "http://" and "rsync://" protocols
- count as direct access).
+ A boolean which
+ changes the format of loose objects so that they are more
+ efficient to pack and to send out of the repository over git
+ native protocol, since v1.4.2. However, loose objects
+ written in the new format cannot be read by git older than
+ that version; people fetching from your repository using
+ older versions of git over dumb transports (e.g. http)
+ will also be affected.
++
+To let git use the new loose object format, you have to
+set core.legacyheaders to false.

Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
+core.deltaBaseCacheLimit::
+ Maximum number of bytes to reserve for caching base objects
+ that multiple deltafied objects reference. 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 16 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.
