1 | feature.*:: |
2 | The config settings that start with `feature.` modify the defaults of | |
3 | a group of other config settings. These groups are created by the Git | |
4 | developer community as recommended defaults and are subject to change. | |
5 | In particular, new config options may be added with different defaults. | |

7 | feature.experimental:: |
8 | Enable config options that are new to Git, and are being considered for | |
9 | future defaults. Config settings included here may be added or removed | |
10 | with each release, including minor version updates. These settings may | |
11 | have unintended interactions since they are so new. Please enable this | |
12 | setting if you are interested in providing feedback on experimental | |
13 | features. The new default values are: | |
14 | + | |
15 | * `pack.useSparse=true` uses a new algorithm when constructing a pack-file | |
16 | which can improve `git push` performance in repos with many files. | |
17 | + | |
18 | * `fetch.negotiationAlgorithm=skipping` may improve fetch negotiation times by | |
19 | skipping more commits at a time, reducing the number of round trips. | |

21 | * `fetch.writeCommitGraph=true` writes a commit-graph after every `git fetch` | |
22 | command that downloads a pack-file from a remote. Using the `--split` option, | |
23 | most executions will create a very small commit-graph file on top of the | |
24 | existing commit-graph file(s). Occasionally, these files will merge and the | |
25 | write may take longer. Having an updated commit-graph file helps performance | |
26 | of many Git commands, including `git merge-base`, `git push -f`, and | |
27 | `git log --graph`. | |

29 | feature.manyFiles:: |
30 | Enable config options that optimize for repos with many files in the | |
31 | working directory. With many files, commands such as `git status` and | |
32 | `git checkout` may be slow and these new defaults improve performance: | |
33 | + | |
34 | * `index.version=4` enables path-prefix compression in the index. | |
35 | + | |
36 | * `core.untrackedCache=true` enables the untracked cache. This setting assumes | |
37 | that mtime is working on your machine. |
