| splitIndex.maxPercentChange:: | |
| When the split index feature is used, this specifies the | |
| percent of entries the split index can contain compared to the | |
| total number of entries in both the split index and the shared | |
| index before a new shared index is written. | |
| The value should be between 0 and 100. If the value is 0, then | |
| a new shared index is always written; if it is 100, a new | |
| shared index is never written. | |
| By default, the value is 20, so a new shared index is written | |
| if the number of entries in the split index would be greater | |
| than 20 percent of the total number of entries. | |
| See linkgit:git-update-index[1]. | |
| splitIndex.sharedIndexExpire:: | |
| When the split index feature is used, shared index files that | |
| were not modified since the time this variable specifies will | |
| be removed when a new shared index file is created. The value | |
| "now" expires all entries immediately, and "never" suppresses | |
| expiration altogether. | |
| The default value is "2.weeks.ago". | |
| Note that a shared index file is considered modified (for the | |
| purpose of expiration) each time a new split-index file is | |
| either created based on it or read from it. | |
