+index.recordEndOfIndexEntries::
+ Specifies whether the index file should include an "End Of Index
+ Entry" section. This reduces index load time on multiprocessor
+ machines but produces a message "ignoring EOIE extension" when
+ reading the index using Git versions before 2.20. Defaults to
+ 'true' if index.threads has been explicitly enabled, 'false'
+ otherwise.
+
+index.recordOffsetTable::
+ Specifies whether the index file should include an "Index Entry
+ Offset Table" section. This reduces index load time on
+ multiprocessor machines but produces a message "ignoring IEOT
+ extension" when reading the index using Git versions before 2.20.
+ Defaults to 'true' if index.threads has been explicitly enabled,
+ 'false' otherwise.
+
+index.threads::
+ Specifies the number of threads to spawn when loading the index.
+ This is meant to reduce index load time on multiprocessor machines.
+ Specifying 0 or 'true' will cause Git to auto-detect the number of
+ CPU's and set the number of threads accordingly. Specifying 1 or
+ 'false' will disable multithreading. Defaults to 'true'.
+
+index.version::
+ Specify the version with which new index files should be
+ initialized. This does not affect existing repositories.
