gui.matchtrackingbranch::
Determines if new branches created with linkgit:git-gui[1] should
default to tracking remote branches with matching names or
the linkgit:git-gui[1]. When set to "none" spell checking is turned
off.
+gui.fastcopyblame::
+ If true, 'git gui blame' uses '-C' instead of '-C -C' for original
+ location detection. It makes blame significantly faster on huge
+ repositories at the expense of less thorough copy detection.
+
+gui.copyblamethreshold::
+ Specifies the threshold to use in 'git gui blame' original location
+ detection, measured in alphanumeric characters. See the
+ linkgit:git-blame[1] manual for more information on copy detection.
+
+gui.blamehistoryctx::
+ Specifies the radius of history context in days to show in

+ Context` menu item is invoked from 'git gui blame'. If this
+ variable is set to zero, the whole history is shown.
+
+guitool.<name>.cmd::
+ Specifies the shell command line to execute when the corresponding item
+ of the linkgit:git-gui[1] `Tools` menu is invoked. This option is
+ mandatory for every tool. The command is executed from the root of
+ the working directory, and in the environment it receives the name of
+ the tool as 'GIT_GUITOOL', the name of the currently selected file as
+ 'FILENAME', and the name of the current branch as 'CUR_BRANCH' (if
+ the head is detached, 'CUR_BRANCH' is empty).
+
+guitool.<name>.needsfile::
+ Run the tool only if a diff is selected in the GUI. It guarantees
+ that 'FILENAME' is not empty.
+
+guitool.<name>.noconsole::
+ Run the command silently, without creating a window to display its
+ output.
+
+guitool.<name>.norescan::
+ Don't rescan the working directory for changes after the tool
+ finishes execution.

+guitool.<name>.confirm::
+ Show a confirmation dialog before actually running the tool.
+
+guitool.<name>.argprompt::
+ Request a string argument from the user, and pass it to the tool
+ through the 'ARGS' environment variable. Since requesting an
+ argument implies confirmation, the 'confirm' option has no effect
+ if this is enabled. If the option is set to 'true', 'yes', or '1',
+ the dialog uses a built-in generic prompt; otherwise the exact
+ value of the variable is used.
+
+guitool.<name>.revprompt::
+ Request a single valid revision from the user, and set the
+ 'REVISION' environment variable. In other aspects this option
+ is similar to 'argprompt', and can be used together with it.
+
+guitool.<name>.revunmerged::
+ Show only unmerged branches in the 'revprompt' subdialog.
+ This is useful for tools similar to merge or rebase, but not
+ for things like checkout or reset.
+
+guitool.<name>.title::
+ Specifies the title to use for the prompt dialog. The default
+ is the tool name.
+
+guitool.<name>.prompt::
+ Specifies the general prompt string to display at the top of
+ the dialog, before subsections for 'argprompt' and 'revprompt'.
+ The default value includes the actual command.

the default. 'web' and 'html' are the same.
+help.autocorrect::
+ Automatically correct and execute mistyped commands after
+ waiting for the given number of deciseconds (0.1 sec). If more
+ than one command can be deduced from the entered text, nothing
+ will be executed. If the value of this option is negative,
+ the corrected command will be executed immediately. If the
+ value is 0 - the command will be just shown but not executed.
+ This is the default.

pull.octopus::
The default merge strategy to use when pulling multiple branches
at once.
pull.twohead::
The default merge strategy to use when pulling a single branch.
+receive.fsckObjects::
+ If it is set to true, git-receive-pack will check all received
+ objects. It will abort in the case of a malformed object or a
+ broken link. The result of an abort are only dangling objects.
+ Defaults to false.
+
+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.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.denyCurrentBranch::
+ If set to true or "refuse", 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 "warn".
+
+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.

+ delta-base offset. If you need to share your repository with
+ git older than version 1.4.4, either directly or via a dumb
+ protocol such as http, then you need to set this option to
+ "false" and repack. Access from old git versions over the
+ native protocol are unaffected by this option.
+
+rerere.autoupdate::
+ When set to true, `git-rerere` updates the index with the
+ resulting contents after it cleanly resolves conflicts using
+ previously recorded resolution. Defaults to false.

- The default linkgit:git-diff-tree[1] arguments to be used
- for linkgit:git-show[1].

prior to v1.5.4).
+status.showUntrackedFiles::
+ By default, linkgit:git-status[1] and linkgit:git-commit[1] show
+ files which are not currently tracked by Git. Directories which
+ contain only untracked files, are shown with the directory name
+ only. Showing untracked files means that Git needs to lstat() all
+ all the files in the whole repository, which might be slow on some
+ systems. So, this variable controls how the commands displays
+ the untracked files. Possible values are:
++
+--
+ - 'no' - Show no untracked files
+ - 'normal' - Shows untracked files and directories
+ - 'all' - Shows also individual files in untracked directories.

tar archive entries. The default is 0002, which turns off the
archiving user's umask will be used instead. See umask(2) and
linkgit:git-archive[1].

-whatchanged.difftree::
- The default linkgit:git-diff-tree[1] arguments to be used

-receive.fsckObjects::
- If it is set to true, git-receive-pack will check all received
- objects. It will abort in the case of a malformed object or a
- broken link. The result of an abort are only dangling objects.
- Defaults to false.
-
-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.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.
-
-transfer.unpackLimit::
- When `fetch.unpackLimit` or `receive.unpackLimit` are
- not set, the value of this variable is used instead.
- The default value is 100.
