-commit.cleanup::
-	This setting overrides the default of the `--cleanup` option in
-	`git commit`. See linkgit:git-commit[1] for details. Changing the
-	default can be useful when you always want to keep lines that begin
-	with comment character `#` in your log message, in which case you
-	would do `git config commit.cleanup whitespace` (note that you will
-	have to remove the help lines that begin with `#` in the commit log
-	template yourself, if you do this).
-
-commit.gpgSign::
-
-	A boolean to specify whether all commits should be GPG signed.
-	Use of this option when doing operations such as rebase can
-	result in a large number of commits being signed. It may be
-	convenient to use an agent to avoid typing your GPG passphrase
-	several times.
-
-commit.status::
-	A boolean to enable/disable inclusion of status information in the
-	commit message template when using an editor to prepare the commit
-	message.  Defaults to true.
-
-commit.template::
-	Specify the pathname of a file to use as the template for
-	new commit messages.
-
-commit.verbose::
-	A boolean or int to specify the level of verbose with `git commit`.
