+----------

+When the `--aggressive` option is supplied, linkgit:git-repack[1] will

+`--no-reuse-delta` to linkgit:git-pack-objects[1]. This will throw
+away any existing deltas and re-compute them, at the expense of

+
+The effects of this are mostly persistent, e.g. when packs and loose

+might pick a sub-optimal delta from a newer pack instead.

 CONFIGURATION
 -------------
 
-The optional configuration variable `gc.reflogExpire` can be
-set to indicate how long historical entries within each branch's
-reflog should remain available in this repository.  The setting is
-expressed as a length of time, for example '90 days' or '3 months'.
-It defaults to '90 days'.
-
-The optional configuration variable `gc.reflogExpireUnreachable`
-can be set to indicate how long historical reflog entries which
-are not part of the current branch should remain available in
-this repository.  These types of entries are generally created as
-a result of using `git commit --amend` or `git rebase` and are the
-commits prior to the amend or rebase occurring.  Since these changes
-are not part of the current project most users will want to expire
-them sooner.  This option defaults to '30 days'.
-
-The above two configuration variables can be given to a pattern.  For
-example, this sets non-default expiry values only to remote-tracking
-branches:
-
-------------
-[gc "refs/remotes/*"]
-	reflogExpire = never
-	reflogExpireUnreachable = 3 days
-------------
-
-The optional configuration variable `gc.rerereResolved` indicates
-how long records of conflicted merge you resolved earlier are
-kept.  This defaults to 60 days.
-
-The optional configuration variable `gc.rerereUnresolved` indicates
-how long records of conflicted merge you have not resolved are
-kept.  This defaults to 15 days.
-
-The optional configuration variable `gc.packRefs` determines if
-'git gc' runs 'git pack-refs'. This can be set to "notbare" to enable
-it within all non-bare repos or it can be set to a boolean value.
-This defaults to true.
-
-The optional configuration variable `gc.writeCommitGraph` determines if
-'git gc' should run 'git commit-graph write'. This can be set to a
-boolean value. This defaults to false.
-
-The optional configuration variable `gc.aggressiveWindow` controls how
-much time is spent optimizing the delta compression of the objects in
-the repository when the --aggressive option is specified.  The larger
-the value, the more time is spent optimizing the delta compression.  See
-the documentation for the --window option in linkgit:git-repack[1] for
-more details.  This defaults to 250.
-
-Similarly, the optional configuration variable `gc.aggressiveDepth`
-controls --depth option in linkgit:git-repack[1]. This defaults to 50.
-
-The optional configuration variable `gc.pruneExpire` controls how old
-the unreferenced loose objects have to be before they are pruned.  The
-default is "2 weeks ago".
-
-Optional configuration variable `gc.worktreePruneExpire` controls how

+# SECTION 13: Checking informational and conflict messages

+# A year after directory rename detection became the default, it was
+# instead decided to report conflicts on the pathname on the basis that
+# some users may expect the new files added or moved into a directory to
+# be unrelated to all the other files in that directory, and thus that
+# directory rename detection is unexpected.  Test that the messages printed
+# match our expectation.
