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: | |

18 | * `protocol.version=2` speeds up fetches from repositories with many refs by |
19 | allowing the client to specify which refs to list before the server lists | |

22 | feature.manyFiles:: |
23 | Enable config options that optimize for repos with many files in the | |
24 | working directory. With many files, commands such as `git status` and | |
25 | `git checkout` may be slow and these new defaults improve performance: | |
26 | + | |
27 | * `index.version=4` enables path-prefix compression in the index. | |
28 | + | |
29 | * `core.untrackedCache=true` enables the untracked cache. This setting assumes | |
30 | that mtime is working on your machine. |
