fetch.recurseSubmodules:: This option can be either set to a boolean value or to 'on-demand'. Setting it to a boolean changes the behavior of fetch and pull to unconditionally recurse into submodules when set to true or to not recurse at all when set to false. When set to 'on-demand' (the default value), fetch and pull will only recurse into a populated submodule when its superproject retrieves a commit that updates the submodule's reference. fetch.fsckObjects:: If it is set to true, git-fetch-pack will check all fetched objects. See `transfer.fsckObjects` for what's checked. Defaults to false. If not set, the value of `transfer.fsckObjects` is used instead. fetch.fsck.<msg-id>:: Acts like `fsck.<msg-id>`, but is used by linkgit:git-fetch-pack[1] instead of linkgit:git-fsck[1]. See the `fsck.<msg-id>` documentation for details. fetch.fsck.skipList:: Acts like `fsck.skipList`, but is used by linkgit:git-fetch-pack[1] instead of linkgit:git-fsck[1]. See the `fsck.skipList` documentation for details. fetch.unpackLimit:: If the number of objects fetched over the Git native transfer is below this limit, then the objects will be unpacked into loose object files. However if the number of received objects equals or exceeds this limit then the received pack will be stored as a pack, after adding any missing delta bases. Storing the pack from a push can make the push operation complete faster, especially on slow filesystems. If not set, the value of `transfer.unpackLimit` is used instead. fetch.prune:: If true, fetch will automatically behave as if the `--prune` option was given on the command line. See also `remote.<name>.prune` and the PRUNING section of linkgit:git-fetch[1]. fetch.pruneTags:: If true, fetch will automatically behave as if the `refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*` refspec was provided when pruning, if not set already. This allows for setting both this option and `fetch.prune` to maintain a 1=1 mapping to upstream refs. See also `remote.<name>.pruneTags` and the PRUNING section of linkgit:git-fetch[1]. fetch.output:: Control how ref update status is printed. Valid values are `full` and `compact`. Default value is `full`. See section OUTPUT in linkgit:git-fetch[1] for detail. fetch.negotiationAlgorithm:: Control how information about the commits in the local repository is sent when negotiating the contents of the packfile to be sent by the server. Set to "skipping" to use an algorithm that skips commits in an effort to converge faster, but may result in a larger-than-necessary packfile; The default is "default" which instructs Git to use the default algorithm that never skips commits (unless the server has acknowledged it or one of its descendants). Unknown values will cause 'git fetch' to error out. + See also the `--negotiation-tip` option for linkgit:git-fetch[1]. fetch.showForcedUpdates:: Set to false to enable `--no-show-forced-updates` in linkgit:git-fetch[1] and linkgit:git-pull[1] commands. Defaults to true.
