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.sparse::
When enabled, write the index using sparse-directory entries. This
has no effect unless `core.sparseCheckout` and
`core.sparseCheckoutCone` are both enabled. Defaults to 'false'.
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.
If `feature.manyFiles` is enabled, then the default is 4.
