-diff.autoRefreshIndex::
-	When using 'git diff' to compare with work tree
-	files, do not consider stat-only change as changed.
-	Instead, silently run `git update-index --refresh` to
-	update the cached stat information for paths whose
-	contents in the work tree match the contents in the
-	index.  This option defaults to true.  Note that this
-	affects only 'git diff' Porcelain, and not lower level
-	'diff' commands such as 'git diff-files'.
-
-diff.dirstat::
-	A comma separated list of `--dirstat` parameters specifying the
-	default behavior of the `--dirstat` option to linkgit:git-diff[1]
-	and friends. The defaults can be overridden on the command line
-	(using `--dirstat=<param1,param2,...>`). The fallback defaults
-	(when not changed by `diff.dirstat`) are `changes,noncumulative,3`.
-	The following parameters are available:
-+
---
-`changes`;;
-	Compute the dirstat numbers by counting the lines that have been
-	removed from the source, or added to the destination. This ignores
-	the amount of pure code movements within a file.  In other words,
-	rearranging lines in a file is not counted as much as other changes.
-	This is the default behavior when no parameter is given.
-`lines`;;
-	Compute the dirstat numbers by doing the regular line-based diff
-	analysis, and summing the removed/added line counts. (For binary
-	files, count 64-byte chunks instead, since binary files have no
-	natural concept of lines). This is a more expensive `--dirstat`
-	behavior than the `changes` behavior, but it does count rearranged
-	lines within a file as much as other changes. The resulting output
-	is consistent with what you get from the other `--*stat` options.
-`files`;;
-	Compute the dirstat numbers by counting the number of files changed.
-	Each changed file counts equally in the dirstat analysis. This is
-	the computationally cheapest `--dirstat` behavior, since it does
-	not have to look at the file contents at all.
-`cumulative`;;
-	Count changes in a child directory for the parent directory as well.
-	Note that when using `cumulative`, the sum of the percentages
-	reported may exceed 100%. The default (non-cumulative) behavior can
-	be specified with the `noncumulative` parameter.
-<limit>;;
-	An integer parameter specifies a cut-off percent (3% by default).
-	Directories contributing less than this percentage of the changes
-	are not shown in the output.
---
-+
-Example: The following will count changed files, while ignoring
-directories with less than 10% of the total amount of changed files,
-and accumulating child directory counts in the parent directories:
-`files,10,cumulative`.
-
-diff.statGraphWidth::
-	Limit the width of the graph part in --stat output. If set, applies
-	to all commands generating --stat output except format-patch.
-
-diff.context::
-	Generate diffs with <n> lines of context instead of the default
-	of 3. This value is overridden by the -U option.
-
-diff.interHunkContext::
-	Show the context between diff hunks, up to the specified number
-	of lines, thereby fusing the hunks that are close to each other.
-	This value serves as the default for the `--inter-hunk-context`
-	command line option.
-
-diff.external::
-	If this config variable is set, diff generation is not
-	performed using the internal diff machinery, but using the
-	given command.  Can be overridden with the `GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF'
-	environment variable.  The command is called with parameters
-	as described under "git Diffs" in linkgit:git[1].  Note: if
-	you want to use an external diff program only on a subset of
-	your files, you might want to use linkgit:gitattributes[5] instead.
-
-diff.ignoreSubmodules::
-	Sets the default value of --ignore-submodules. Note that this
-	affects only 'git diff' Porcelain, and not lower level 'diff'
-	commands such as 'git diff-files'. 'git checkout'
-	and 'git switch' also honor
-	this setting when reporting uncommitted changes. Setting it to
-	'all' disables the submodule summary normally shown by 'git commit'
-	and 'git status' when `status.submoduleSummary` is set unless it is
-	overridden by using the --ignore-submodules command-line option.
-	The 'git submodule' commands are not affected by this setting.
-
-diff.mnemonicPrefix::
-	If set, 'git diff' uses a prefix pair that is different from the
-	standard "a/" and "b/" depending on what is being compared.  When
-	this configuration is in effect, reverse diff output also swaps
-	the order of the prefixes:
-`git diff`;;
-	compares the (i)ndex and the (w)ork tree;
-`git diff HEAD`;;
-	 compares a (c)ommit and the (w)ork tree;
-`git diff --cached`;;
-	compares a (c)ommit and the (i)ndex;
-`git diff HEAD:file1 file2`;;
-	compares an (o)bject and a (w)ork tree entity;
-`git diff --no-index a b`;;
-	compares two non-git things (1) and (2).
-
-diff.noprefix::
-	If set, 'git diff' does not show any source or destination prefix.
-
-diff.relative::
-	If set to 'true', 'git diff' does not show changes outside of the directory
-	and show pathnames relative to the current directory.
-
-diff.orderFile::
-	File indicating how to order files within a diff.
-	See the '-O' option to linkgit:git-diff[1] for details.
-	If `diff.orderFile` is a relative pathname, it is treated as
-	relative to the top of the working tree.
-
-diff.renameLimit::
-	The number of files to consider when performing the copy/rename
-	detection; equivalent to the 'git diff' option `-l`. This setting
-	has no effect if rename detection is turned off.
-
-diff.renames::
-	Whether and how Git detects renames.  If set to "false",
-	rename detection is disabled. If set to "true", basic rename
-	detection is enabled.  If set to "copies" or "copy", Git will
-	detect copies, as well.  Defaults to true.  Note that this
-	affects only 'git diff' Porcelain like linkgit:git-diff[1] and
-	linkgit:git-log[1], and not lower level commands such as
-	linkgit:git-diff-files[1].
-
-diff.suppressBlankEmpty::
-	A boolean to inhibit the standard behavior of printing a space
-	before each empty output line. Defaults to false.
-
-diff.submodule::
-	Specify the format in which differences in submodules are
-	shown.  The "short" format just shows the names of the commits
-	at the beginning and end of the range. The "log" format lists
-	the commits in the range like linkgit:git-submodule[1] `summary`
-	does. The "diff" format shows an inline diff of the changed
-	contents of the submodule. Defaults to "short".
-
-diff.wordRegex::
-	A POSIX Extended Regular Expression used to determine what is a "word"
-	when performing word-by-word difference calculations.  Character
-	sequences that match the regular expression are "words", all other
-	characters are *ignorable* whitespace.
-
-diff.<driver>.command::
-	The custom diff driver command.  See linkgit:gitattributes[5]
-	for details.
-
-diff.<driver>.xfuncname::
-	The regular expression that the diff driver should use to
-	recognize the hunk header.  A built-in pattern may also be used.
-	See linkgit:gitattributes[5] for details.
-
-diff.<driver>.binary::
-	Set this option to true to make the diff driver treat files as
-	binary.  See linkgit:gitattributes[5] for details.
-
-diff.<driver>.textconv::
-	The command that the diff driver should call to generate the
-	text-converted version of a file.  The result of the
-	conversion is used to generate a human-readable diff.  See
-	linkgit:gitattributes[5] for details.
-
-diff.<driver>.wordRegex::
-	The regular expression that the diff driver should use to
-	split words in a line.  See linkgit:gitattributes[5] for
-	details.
-
-diff.<driver>.cachetextconv::
-	Set this option to true to make the diff driver cache the text
-	conversion outputs.  See linkgit:gitattributes[5] for details.
-
-diff.tool::
-	Controls which diff tool is used by linkgit:git-difftool[1].
-	This variable overrides the value configured in `merge.tool`.
-	The list below shows the valid built-in values.
-	Any other value is treated as a custom diff tool and requires
-	that a corresponding difftool.<tool>.cmd variable is defined.
-
-diff.guitool::
-	Controls which diff tool is used by linkgit:git-difftool[1] when
-	the -g/--gui flag is specified. This variable overrides the value
-	configured in `merge.guitool`. The list below shows the valid
-	built-in values. Any other value is treated as a custom diff tool
-	and requires that a corresponding difftool.<guitool>.cmd variable
-	is defined.

-include::../mergetools-diff.txt[]
-
-diff.indentHeuristic::
-	Set this option to `false` to disable the default heuristics
-	that shift diff hunk boundaries to make patches easier to read.
-
-diff.algorithm::
-	Choose a diff algorithm.  The variants are as follows:
-+
---
-`default`, `myers`;;
-	The basic greedy diff algorithm. Currently, this is the default.
-`minimal`;;
-	Spend extra time to make sure the smallest possible diff is
-	produced.
-`patience`;;
-	Use "patience diff" algorithm when generating patches.
-`histogram`;;
-	This algorithm extends the patience algorithm to "support
-	low-occurrence common elements".
---
-+
-
-diff.wsErrorHighlight::
-	Highlight whitespace errors in the `context`, `old` or `new`
-	lines of the diff.  Multiple values are separated by comma,
-	`none` resets previous values, `default` reset the list to
-	`new` and `all` is a shorthand for `old,new,context`.  The
-	whitespace errors are colored with `color.diff.whitespace`.
-	The command line option `--ws-error-highlight=<kind>`
-	overrides this setting.
-
-diff.colorMoved::
-	If set to either a valid `<mode>` or a true value, moved lines
-	in a diff are colored differently, for details of valid modes
-	see '--color-moved' in linkgit:git-diff[1]. If simply set to
-	true the default color mode will be used. When set to false,
-	moved lines are not colored.
-
-diff.colorMovedWS::
-	When moved lines are colored using e.g. the `diff.colorMoved` setting,
-	this option controls the `<mode>` how spaces are treated
-	for details of valid modes see '--color-moved-ws' in linkgit:git-diff[1].
