repack.useDeltaBaseOffset:: By default, linkgit:git-repack[1] creates packs that use delta-base offset. If you need to share your repository with Git older than version 1.4.4, either directly or via a dumb protocol such as http, then you need to set this option to "false" and repack. Access from old Git versions over the native protocol are unaffected by this option. repack.packKeptObjects:: If set to true, makes `git repack` act as if `--pack-kept-objects` was passed. See linkgit:git-repack[1] for details. Defaults to `false` normally, but `true` if a bitmap index is being written (either via `--write-bitmap-index` or `repack.writeBitmaps`). repack.useDeltaIslands:: If set to true, makes `git repack` act as if `--delta-islands` was passed. Defaults to `false`. repack.writeBitmaps:: When true, git will write a bitmap index when packing all objects to disk (e.g., when `git repack -a` is run). This index can speed up the "counting objects" phase of subsequent packs created for clones and fetches, at the cost of some disk space and extra time spent on the initial repack. This has no effect if multiple packfiles are created. Defaults to true on bare repos, false otherwise. repack.updateServerInfo:: If set to false, linkgit:git-repack[1] will not run linkgit:git-update-server-info[1]. Defaults to true. Can be overridden when true by the `-n` option of linkgit:git-repack[1].
