| 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. |
