1 repack.useDeltaBaseOffset::
2 By default, linkgit:git-repack[1] creates packs that use
3 delta-base offset. If you need to share your repository with
4 Git older than version 1.4.4, either directly or via a dumb
5 protocol such as http, then you need to set this option to
6 "false" and repack. Access from old Git versions over the
7 native protocol are unaffected by this option.
9 repack.packKeptObjects::
10 If set to true, makes `git repack` act as if
11 `--pack-kept-objects` was passed. See linkgit:git-repack[1] for
12 details. Defaults to `false` normally, but `true` if a bitmap
13 index is being written (either via `--write-bitmap-index` or
14 `repack.writeBitmaps`).
16 repack.useDeltaIslands::
17 If set to true, makes `git repack` act as if `--delta-islands`
18 was passed. Defaults to `false`.
21 When true, git will write a bitmap index when packing all
22 objects to disk (e.g., when `git repack -a` is run). This
23 index can speed up the "counting objects" phase of subsequent
24 packs created for clones and fetches, at the cost of some disk
25 space and extra time spent on the initial repack. This has
26 no effect if multiple packfiles are created.
27 Defaults to true on bare repos, false otherwise.
