+splitIndex.maxPercentChange::
+	When the split index feature is used, this specifies the
+	percent of entries the split index can contain compared to the
+	total number of entries in both the split index and the shared
+	index before a new shared index is written.
+	The value should be between 0 and 100. If the value is 0 then
+	a new shared index is always written, if it is 100 a new
+	shared index is never written.
+	By default the value is 20, so a new shared index is written
+	if the number of entries in the split index would be greater
+	than 20 percent of the total number of entries.
+	See linkgit:git-update-index[1].
+
+splitIndex.sharedIndexExpire::
+	When the split index feature is used, shared index files that
+	were not modified since the time this variable specifies will
+	be removed when a new shared index file is created. The value
+	"now" expires all entries immediately, and "never" suppresses
+	expiration altogether.
+	The default value is "2.weeks.ago".
+	Note that a shared index file is considered modified (for the
+	purpose of expiration) each time a new split-index file is
+	either created based on it or read from it.
+	See linkgit:git-update-index[1].
