| 1 | splitIndex.maxPercentChange:: |
| 2 | When the split index feature is used, this specifies the |
| 3 | percent of entries the split index can contain compared to the |
| 4 | total number of entries in both the split index and the shared |
| 5 | index before a new shared index is written. |
| 6 | The value should be between 0 and 100. If the value is 0, then |
| 7 | a new shared index is always written; if it is 100, a new |
| 8 | shared index is never written. |
| 9 | By default, the value is 20, so a new shared index is written |
| 10 | if the number of entries in the split index would be greater |
| 11 | than 20 percent of the total number of entries. |
| 12 | See linkgit:git-update-index[1]. |

| 14 | splitIndex.sharedIndexExpire:: |
| 15 | When the split index feature is used, shared index files that |
| 16 | were not modified since the time this variable specifies will |
| 17 | be removed when a new shared index file is created. The value |
| 18 | "now" expires all entries immediately, and "never" suppresses |
| 19 | expiration altogether. |
| 20 | The default value is "2.weeks.ago". |
| 21 | Note that a shared index file is considered modified (for the |
| 22 | purpose of expiration) each time a new split-index file is |
| 23 | either created based on it or read from it. |
