+       When 'group' (or 'true'), the repository is made shareable between

 core.warnAmbiguousRefs::
        If true, git will warn you if the ref name you passed it is ambiguous
        and might match multiple refs in the .git/refs/ tree. True by default.
 
+core.compression::
+       An integer -1..9, indicating the compression level for objects that

+tar.umask::
+       By default, gitlink:git-tar-tree[1] sets file and directories modes
