-interactive.singleKey::
-	In interactive commands, allow the user to provide one-letter
-	input with a single key (i.e., without hitting enter).
-	Currently this is used by the `--patch` mode of
-	linkgit:git-add[1], linkgit:git-checkout[1], linkgit:git-commit[1],
-	linkgit:git-reset[1], and linkgit:git-stash[1]. Note that this
-	setting is silently ignored if portable keystroke input
-	is not available; requires the Perl module Term::ReadKey.

-interactive.diffFilter::
-	When an interactive command (such as `git add --patch`) shows
-	a colorized diff, git will pipe the diff through the shell
-	command defined by this configuration variable. The command may
-	mark up the diff further for human consumption, provided that it
-	retains a one-to-one correspondence with the lines in the
-	original diff. Defaults to disabled (no filtering).
