+index.recordEndOfIndexEntries::
+	Specifies whether the index file should include an "End Of Index
+	Entry" section. This reduces index load time on multiprocessor
+	machines but produces a message "ignoring EOIE extension" when
+	reading the index using Git versions before 2.20. Defaults to
+	'true' if index.threads has been explicitly enabled, 'false'
+	otherwise.
+
+index.recordOffsetTable::
+	Specifies whether the index file should include an "Index Entry
+	Offset Table" section. This reduces index load time on
+	multiprocessor machines but produces a message "ignoring IEOT
+	extension" when reading the index using Git versions before 2.20.
+	Defaults to 'true' if index.threads has been explicitly enabled,
+	'false' otherwise.
+
+index.threads::
+	Specifies the number of threads to spawn when loading the index.
+	This is meant to reduce index load time on multiprocessor machines.
+	Specifying 0 or 'true' will cause Git to auto-detect the number of
+	CPU's and set the number of threads accordingly. Specifying 1 or
+	'false' will disable multithreading. Defaults to 'true'.
+
+index.version::
+	Specify the version with which new index files should be
+	initialized.  This does not affect existing repositories.
