An integer -1..9, indicating a default compression level.
-1 is the zlib default. 0 means no compression,
and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9 being slowest.
+ If set, this provides a default to other compression variables,
+ such as 'core.loosecompression' and 'pack.compression'.
core.loosecompression::
An integer -1..9, indicating the compression level for objects that
are not in a pack file. -1 is the zlib default. 0 means no
compression, and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9 being
slowest. If not set, defaults to core.compression. If that is
- not set, defaults to 0 (best speed).
+ not set, defaults to 1 (best speed).
core.packedGitWindowSize::
Number of bytes of a pack file to map into memory in a
merge.tool::
Controls which merge resolution program is used by
- gitlink:git-mergetool[l]. Valid values are: "kdiff3", "tkdiff",
+ gitlink:git-mergetool[1]. Valid values are: "kdiff3", "tkdiff",
"meld", "xxdiff", "emerge", "vimdiff", "gvimdiff", and "opendiff".
merge.verbosity::
in a pack file. -1 is the zlib default. 0 means no
compression, and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9 being
slowest. If not set, defaults to core.compression. If that is
- not set, defaults to -1.
+ not set, defaults to -1, the zlib default, which is "a default
+ compromise between speed and compression (currently equivalent
+ to level 6)."
pack.deltaCacheSize::
The maximum memory in bytes used for caching deltas in
