[PATCH/RFC 00/11] Break down Documentation/config.txt

[PATCH/RFC 00/11] Break down Documentation/config.txt

[Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy]

I notice a couple times lately that people added new config keys in
the wrong place, which is understandable since this file has become so
big, it's hard to see the structure of anything.

Since we have broken down some parts of it into separate files
already, this continues in that direction and moves even more parts
out of config.txt.

I don't have a well defined criteria to decide which part should be
moved out. I just did it when I see a section is getting too big, or
becomes less relevant today, or not move to avoid conflicts on 'pu'.
But if this is a good move, we can discuss this further.

I group by section, but I think in some cases we can even do better
and group multiple sections in one file (which also means they are
rendered close together). This again is up to discussion.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy (11):
  config.txt: follow camelCase naming
  config.txt: move fetch part out to a separate file
  config.txt: move format part out to a separate file
  config.txt: move gitcvs part out to a separate file
  config.txt: move gui part out to a separate file
  config.txt: move pull part out to a separate file
  config.txt: move push part out to a separate file
  config.txt: move receive part out to a separate file
  config.txt: move sendemail part out to a separate file
  config.txt: move sequence.editor out of "core" part
  config.txt: move submodule part out to a separate file

-receive.advertiseAtomic::
-	By default, git-receive-pack will advertise the atomic push
-	capability to its clients. If you don't want to advertise this
-	capability, set this variable to false.
-
-receive.advertisePushOptions::
-	When set to true, git-receive-pack will advertise the push options
-	capability to its clients. False by default.
-
-receive.autogc::
-	By default, git-receive-pack will run "git-gc --auto" after
-	receiving data from git-push and updating refs.  You can stop
-	it by setting this variable to false.
-
-receive.certNonceSeed::
-	By setting this variable to a string, `git receive-pack`
-	will accept a `git push --signed` and verifies it by using
-	a "nonce" protected by HMAC using this string as a secret
-	key.
-
-receive.certNonceSlop::
-	When a `git push --signed` sent a push certificate with a
-	"nonce" that was issued by a receive-pack serving the same
-	repository within this many seconds, export the "nonce"
-	found in the certificate to `GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE` to the
-	hooks (instead of what the receive-pack asked the sending
-	side to include).  This may allow writing checks in
-	`pre-receive` and `post-receive` a bit easier.  Instead of
-	checking `GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_SLOP` environment variable
-	that records by how many seconds the nonce is stale to
-	decide if they want to accept the certificate, they only
-	can check `GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_STATUS` is `OK`.
-
-receive.fsckObjects::
-	If it is set to true, git-receive-pack will check all received
-	objects. See `transfer.fsckObjects` for what's checked.
-	Defaults to false. If not set, the value of
-	`transfer.fsckObjects` is used instead.
-
-receive.fsck.<msg-id>::
-	Acts like `fsck.<msg-id>`, but is used by
-	linkgit:git-receive-pack[1] instead of
-	linkgit:git-fsck[1]. See the `fsck.<msg-id>` documentation for
-	details.
-
-receive.fsck.skipList::
-	Acts like `fsck.skipList`, but is used by
-	linkgit:git-receive-pack[1] instead of
-	linkgit:git-fsck[1]. See the `fsck.skipList` documentation for
-	details.
-
-receive.keepAlive::
-	After receiving the pack from the client, `receive-pack` may
-	produce no output (if `--quiet` was specified) while processing
-	the pack, causing some networks to drop the TCP connection.
-	With this option set, if `receive-pack` does not transmit
-	any data in this phase for `receive.keepAlive` seconds, it will
-	send a short keepalive packet.  The default is 5 seconds; set
-	to 0 to disable keepalives entirely.
-
-receive.unpackLimit::
-	If the number of objects received in a push is below this
-	limit then the objects will be unpacked into loose object
-	files. However if the number of received objects equals or
-	exceeds this limit then the received pack will be stored as
-	a pack, after adding any missing delta bases.  Storing the
-	pack from a push can make the push operation complete faster,
-	especially on slow filesystems.  If not set, the value of
-	`transfer.unpackLimit` is used instead.
-
-receive.maxInputSize::
-	If the size of the incoming pack stream is larger than this
-	limit, then git-receive-pack will error out, instead of
-	accepting the pack file. If not set or set to 0, then the size
-	is unlimited.
-
-receive.denyDeletes::
-	If set to true, git-receive-pack will deny a ref update that deletes
-	the ref. Use this to prevent such a ref deletion via a push.
-
-receive.denyDeleteCurrent::
-	If set to true, git-receive-pack will deny a ref update that
-	deletes the currently checked out branch of a non-bare repository.
-
-receive.denyCurrentBranch::
-	If set to true or "refuse", git-receive-pack will deny a ref update
-	to the currently checked out branch of a non-bare repository.
-	Such a push is potentially dangerous because it brings the HEAD
-	out of sync with the index and working tree. If set to "warn",
-	print a warning of such a push to stderr, but allow the push to
-	proceed. If set to false or "ignore", allow such pushes with no
-	message. Defaults to "refuse".

+receive.advertiseAtomic::
+	By default, git-receive-pack will advertise the atomic push
+	capability to its clients. If you don't want to advertise this
+	capability, set this variable to false.
+
+receive.advertisePushOptions::
+	When set to true, git-receive-pack will advertise the push options
+	capability to its clients. False by default.
+
+receive.autogc::
+	By default, git-receive-pack will run "git-gc --auto" after
+	receiving data from git-push and updating refs.  You can stop
+	it by setting this variable to false.
+
+receive.certNonceSeed::
+	By setting this variable to a string, `git receive-pack`
+	will accept a `git push --signed` and verifies it by using
+	a "nonce" protected by HMAC using this string as a secret
+	key.
+
+receive.certNonceSlop::
+	When a `git push --signed` sent a push certificate with a
+	"nonce" that was issued by a receive-pack serving the same
+	repository within this many seconds, export the "nonce"
+	found in the certificate to `GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE` to the
+	hooks (instead of what the receive-pack asked the sending
+	side to include).  This may allow writing checks in
+	`pre-receive` and `post-receive` a bit easier.  Instead of
+	checking `GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_SLOP` environment variable
+	that records by how many seconds the nonce is stale to
+	decide if they want to accept the certificate, they only
+	can check `GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_STATUS` is `OK`.
+
+receive.fsckObjects::
+	If it is set to true, git-receive-pack will check all received
+	objects. See `transfer.fsckObjects` for what's checked.
+	Defaults to false. If not set, the value of
+	`transfer.fsckObjects` is used instead.
+
+receive.fsck.<msg-id>::
+	Acts like `fsck.<msg-id>`, but is used by
+	linkgit:git-receive-pack[1] instead of
+	linkgit:git-fsck[1]. See the `fsck.<msg-id>` documentation for
+	details.
+
+receive.fsck.skipList::
+	Acts like `fsck.skipList`, but is used by
+	linkgit:git-receive-pack[1] instead of
+	linkgit:git-fsck[1]. See the `fsck.skipList` documentation for
+	details.
+
+receive.keepAlive::
+	After receiving the pack from the client, `receive-pack` may
+	produce no output (if `--quiet` was specified) while processing
+	the pack, causing some networks to drop the TCP connection.
+	With this option set, if `receive-pack` does not transmit
+	any data in this phase for `receive.keepAlive` seconds, it will
+	send a short keepalive packet.  The default is 5 seconds; set
+	to 0 to disable keepalives entirely.
+
+receive.unpackLimit::
+	If the number of objects received in a push is below this
+	limit then the objects will be unpacked into loose object
+	files. However if the number of received objects equals or
+	exceeds this limit then the received pack will be stored as
+	a pack, after adding any missing delta bases.  Storing the
+	pack from a push can make the push operation complete faster,
+	especially on slow filesystems.  If not set, the value of
+	`transfer.unpackLimit` is used instead.
+
+receive.maxInputSize::
+	If the size of the incoming pack stream is larger than this
+	limit, then git-receive-pack will error out, instead of
+	accepting the pack file. If not set or set to 0, then the size
+	is unlimited.
+
+receive.denyDeletes::
+	If set to true, git-receive-pack will deny a ref update that deletes
+	the ref. Use this to prevent such a ref deletion via a push.
+
+receive.denyDeleteCurrent::
+	If set to true, git-receive-pack will deny a ref update that
+	deletes the currently checked out branch of a non-bare repository.
+
+receive.denyCurrentBranch::
+	If set to true or "refuse", git-receive-pack will deny a ref update
+	to the currently checked out branch of a non-bare repository.
+	Such a push is potentially dangerous because it brings the HEAD
+	out of sync with the index and working tree. If set to "warn",
+	print a warning of such a push to stderr, but allow the push to
+	proceed. If set to false or "ignore", allow such pushes with no
+	message. Defaults to "refuse".

+Another option is "updateInstead" which will update the working

Especially with <20180819105210.19296-1-pclouds@gmail.com>, which is
your recent update to the "git help --config" collection machinery
in place, this sounds like a sensible move.
