core.fileMode::
+
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.
++
+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.
++
+Currently only linkgit:git-fast-import[1] honors this setting.

core.excludesfile::
In addition to '.gitignore' (per-directory) and
'.git/info/exclude', git looks into this file for patterns
sequences that match the regular expression are "words", all other
characters are *ignorable* whitespace.
+fetch.fsckObjects::
+ If it is set to true, git-fetch-pack will check all fetched
+ 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.

fetch.unpackLimit::
If the number of objects fetched over the git native
transfer is below this
the `{asterisk}.idx` file.
pack.packSizeLimit::
- The default maximum size of a pack. This setting only affects
- packing to a file, i.e. the git:// protocol is unaffected. It
- can be overridden by the `\--max-pack-size` option of
- linkgit:git-repack[1].
