1 fetch.recurseSubmodules::
2 This option controls whether `git fetch` (and the underlying fetch
3 in `git pull`) will recursively fetch into populated submodules.
4 This option can be set either to a boolean value or to 'on-demand'.
5 Setting it to a boolean changes the behavior of fetch and pull to
6 recurse unconditionally into submodules when set to true or to not
7 recurse at all when set to false. When set to 'on-demand', fetch and
8 pull will only recurse into a populated submodule when its
9 superproject retrieves a commit that updates the submodule's
11 Defaults to 'on-demand', or to the value of 'submodule.recurse' if set.
14 If it is set to true, git-fetch-pack will check all fetched
15 objects. See `transfer.fsckObjects` for what's
16 checked. Defaults to false. If not set, the value of
17 `transfer.fsckObjects` is used instead.
20 Acts like `fsck.<msg-id>`, but is used by
21 linkgit:git-fetch-pack[1] instead of linkgit:git-fsck[1]. See
22 the `fsck.<msg-id>` documentation for details.
25 Acts like `fsck.skipList`, but is used by
26 linkgit:git-fetch-pack[1] instead of linkgit:git-fsck[1]. See
27 the `fsck.skipList` documentation for details.
30 If the number of objects fetched over the Git native
31 transfer is below this
32 limit, then the objects will be unpacked into loose object
33 files. However if the number of received objects equals or
34 exceeds this limit then the received pack will be stored as
35 a pack, after adding any missing delta bases. Storing the
36 pack from a push can make the push operation complete faster,
37 especially on slow filesystems. If not set, the value of
38 `transfer.unpackLimit` is used instead.
41 If true, fetch will automatically behave as if the `--prune`
42 option was given on the command line. See also `remote.<name>.prune`
43 and the PRUNING section of linkgit:git-fetch[1].
46 If true, fetch will automatically behave as if the
47 `refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*` refspec was provided when pruning,
48 if not set already. This allows for setting both this option
49 and `fetch.prune` to maintain a 1=1 mapping to upstream
50 refs. See also `remote.<name>.pruneTags` and the PRUNING
51 section of linkgit:git-fetch[1].
54 Control how ref update status is printed. Valid values are
55 `full` and `compact`. Default value is `full`. See section
56 OUTPUT in linkgit:git-fetch[1] for detail.
58 fetch.negotiationAlgorithm::
59 Control how information about the commits in the local repository is
60 sent when negotiating the contents of the packfile to be sent by the
61 server. Set to "skipping" to use an algorithm that skips commits in an
62 effort to converge faster, but may result in a larger-than-necessary
63 packfile; or set to "noop" to not send any information at all, which
64 will almost certainly result in a larger-than-necessary packfile, but
65 will skip the negotiation step.
66 The default is "default" which instructs Git to use the default algorithm
67 that never skips commits (unless the server has acknowledged it or one
68 of its descendants). If `feature.experimental` is enabled, then this
69 setting defaults to "skipping".
70 Unknown values will cause 'git fetch' to error out.
72 See also the `--negotiation-tip` option for linkgit:git-fetch[1].
74 fetch.showForcedUpdates::
75 Set to false to enable `--no-show-forced-updates` in
76 linkgit:git-fetch[1] and linkgit:git-pull[1] commands.
80 Specifies the maximal number of fetch operations to be run in parallel
81 at a time (submodules, or remotes when the `--multiple` option of
82 linkgit:git-fetch[1] is in effect).
84 A value of 0 will give some reasonable default. If unset, it defaults to 1.
86 For submodules, this setting can be overridden using the `submodule.fetchJobs`
89 fetch.writeCommitGraph::
90 Set to true to write a commit-graph after every `git fetch` command
91 that downloads a pack-file from a remote. Using the `--split` option,
92 most executions will create a very small commit-graph file on top of
93 the existing commit-graph file(s). Occasionally, these files will
94 merge and the write may take longer. Having an updated commit-graph
95 file helps performance of many Git commands, including `git merge-base`,
96 `git push -f`, and `git log --graph`. Defaults to false.
