fetch.recurseSubmodules:: This option controls whether `git fetch` (and the underlying fetch in `git pull`) will recursively fetch into populated submodules. This option can be set either to a boolean value or to 'on-demand'. Setting it to a boolean changes the behavior of fetch and pull to recurse unconditionally into submodules when set to true or to not recurse at all when set to false. When set to 'on-demand', fetch and pull will only recurse into a populated submodule when its superproject retrieves a commit that updates the submodule's reference. Defaults to 'on-demand', or to the value of 'submodule.recurse' if set. 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; or set to "noop" to not send any information at all, which will almost certainly result in a larger-than-necessary packfile, but will skip the negotiation step. 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). If `feature.experimental` is enabled, then this setting defaults to "skipping". 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. fetch.parallel:: Specifies the maximal number of fetch operations to be run in parallel at a time (submodules, or remotes when the `--multiple` option of linkgit:git-fetch[1] is in effect). + A value of 0 will give some reasonable default. If unset, it defaults to 1. + For submodules, this setting can be overridden using the `submodule.fetchJobs` config setting. fetch.writeCommitGraph:: Set to true to write a commit-graph after every `git fetch` command that downloads a pack-file from a remote. Using the `--split` option, most executions will create a very small commit-graph file on top of the existing commit-graph file(s). Occasionally, these files will merge and the write may take longer. Having an updated commit-graph file helps performance of many Git commands, including `git merge-base`, `git push -f`, and `git log --graph`. Defaults to false.
