        Set to false to enable `--no-show-forced-updates` in
        linkgit:git-fetch[1] and linkgit:git-pull[1] commands.

+fetch.writeCommitGraph::
+       Set to true to write a commit-graph after every `git fetch` command
+       that downloads a pack-file from a remote. Using the `--split` option,
+       most executions will create a very small commit-graph file on top of
+       the existing commit-graph file(s). Occasionally, these files will
+       merge and the write may take longer. Having an updated commit-graph
+       file helps performance of many Git commands, including `git merge-base`,
+       `git push -f`, and `git log --graph`. Defaults to false, unless
+       `feature.experimental` is true.
