+feature.*::
+ The config settings that start with `feature.` modify the defaults of
+ a group of other config settings. These groups are created by the Git
+ developer community as recommended defaults and are subject to change.
+ In particular, new config options may be added with different defaults.
+
+feature.experimental::
+ Enable config options that are new to Git, and are being considered for
+ future defaults. Config settings included here may be added or removed
+ with each release, including minor version updates. These settings may
+ have unintended interactions since they are so new. Please enable this
+ setting if you are interested in providing feedback on experimental
+ features. The new default values are:
++
+* `pack.useSparse=true` uses a new algorithm when constructing a pack-file
+which can improve `git push` performance in repos with many files.
++
+* `fetch.negotiationAlgorithm=skipping` may improve fetch negotiation times by
+skipping more commits at a time, reducing the number of round trips.
++
+* `fetch.writeCommitGraph=true` writes a commit-graph after every `git fetch`
+command that downloads a pack-file from a remote. Using the `--split` option,
+most executions will create a very small commit-graph file on top of the
+existing commit-graph file(s). Occasionally, these files will merge and the
+write may take longer. Having an updated commit-graph file helps performance
+of many Git commands, including `git merge-base`, `git push -f`, and
+`git log --graph`.
+
+feature.manyFiles::
+ Enable config options that optimize for repos with many files in the
+ working directory. With many files, commands such as `git status` and
+ `git checkout` may be slow and these new defaults improve performance:
++
+* `index.version=4` enables path-prefix compression in the index.
++
+* `core.untrackedCache=true` enables the untracked cache. This setting assumes
+that mtime is working on your machine.
