+notes.mergeStrategy::
+ Which merge strategy to choose by default when resolving notes
+ conflicts. Must be one of `manual`, `ours`, `theirs`, `union`, or
+ `cat_sort_uniq`. Defaults to `manual`. See "NOTES MERGE STRATEGIES"
+ section of linkgit:git-notes[1] for more information on each strategy.
+
+notes.<name>.mergeStrategy::
+ Which merge strategy to choose when doing a notes merge into
+ refs/notes/<name>. This overrides the more general
+ "notes.mergeStrategy". See the "NOTES MERGE STRATEGIES" section in
+ linkgit:git-notes[1] for more information on the available strategies.
+
+notes.displayRef::
+ The (fully qualified) refname from which to show notes when
+ showing commit messages. The value of this variable can be set
+ to a glob, in which case notes from all matching refs will be
+ shown. You may also specify this configuration variable
+ several times. A warning will be issued for refs that do not
+ exist, but a glob that does not match any refs is silently
+ ignored.
++
+This setting can be overridden with the `GIT_NOTES_DISPLAY_REF`
+environment variable, which must be a colon separated list of refs or
+globs.
++
+The effective value of "core.notesRef" (possibly overridden by
+GIT_NOTES_REF) is also implicitly added to the list of refs to be
+displayed.
+
+notes.rewrite.<command>::
+ When rewriting commits with <command> (currently `amend` or
+ `rebase`) and this variable is set to `true`, Git
+ automatically copies your notes from the original to the
+ rewritten commit. Defaults to `true`, but see
+ "notes.rewriteRef" below.
+
+notes.rewriteMode::
+ When copying notes during a rewrite (see the
+ "notes.rewrite.<command>" option), determines what to do if
+ the target commit already has a note. Must be one of
+ `overwrite`, `concatenate`, `cat_sort_uniq`, or `ignore`.
+ Defaults to `concatenate`.
++
+This setting can be overridden with the `GIT_NOTES_REWRITE_MODE`
+environment variable.
+
+notes.rewriteRef::
+ When copying notes during a rewrite, specifies the (fully
+ qualified) ref whose notes should be copied. The ref may be a
+ glob, in which case notes in all matching refs will be copied.
+ You may also specify this configuration several times.
++
+Does not have a default value; you must configure this variable to
+enable note rewriting. Set it to `refs/notes/commits` to enable
+rewriting for the default commit notes.
++
+This setting can be overridden with the `GIT_NOTES_REWRITE_REF`
+environment variable, which must be a colon separated list of refs or
+globs.
