The setting is +expressed as a length of time, for example '90 days' or '3 months'. +It defaults to '90 days'. + +The optional configuration variable 'gc.reflogExpireUnreachable' +can be set to indicate how long historical reflog entries which +are not part of the current branch should remain available in +this repository. These types of entries are generally created as +a result of using `git commit \--amend` or `git rebase` and are the +commits prior to the amend or rebase occuring. Since these changes +are not part of the current project most users will want to expire +them sooner. This option defaults to '30 days'. + +The optional configuration variable 'gc.rerereresolved' indicates +how long records of conflicted merge you resolved earlier are +kept. This defaults to 60 days. + +The optional configuration variable 'gc.rerereunresolved' indicates +how long records of conflicted merge you have not resolved are +kept.
