feature.*::
|
|
The config settings that start with `feature.` modify the defaults of
|
|
a group of other config settings. These groups are created by the Git
|
|
developer community as recommended defaults and are subject to change.
|
|
In particular, new config options may be added with different defaults.
|
|
|
|
feature.experimental::
|
|
Enable config options that are new to Git, and are being considered for
|
|
future defaults. Config settings included here may be added or removed
|
|
with each release, including minor version updates. These settings may
|
|
have unintended interactions since they are so new. Please enable this
|
|
setting if you are interested in providing feedback on experimental
|
|
features. The new default values are:
|
|
+
|
|
* `pack.useSparse=true` uses a new algorithm when constructing a pack-file
|
|
which can improve `git push` performance in repos with many files.
|
|
+
|
|
* `fetch.negotiationAlgorithm=skipping` may improve fetch negotiation times by
|
|
skipping more commits at a time, reducing the number of round trips.
|
|
+
|
|
* `fetch.writeCommitGraph=true` writes 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`.
|
|
|
|
feature.manyFiles::
|
|
Enable config options that optimize for repos with many files in the
|
|
working directory. With many files, commands such as `git status` and
|
|
`git checkout` may be slow and these new defaults improve performance:
|
|
+
|
|
* `index.version=4` enables path-prefix compression in the index.
|
|
+
|
|
* `core.untrackedCache=true` enables the untracked cache. This setting assumes
|
|
that mtime is working on your machine.
