If true, git will warn you if the ref name you passed it is ambiguous
and might match multiple refs in the .git/refs/ tree. True by default.
+alias.*::
+ Command aliases for the gitlink:git[1] command wrapper - e.g.
+ after defining "alias.last = cat-file commit HEAD", the invocation
+ "git last" is equivalent to "git cat-file commit HEAD". To avoid
+ confusion, aliases that hide existing git commands are ignored.
+ Arguments are split at whitespaces, but single or double
+ quote pair can be used to quote them.
+
apply.whitespace::
Tells `git-apply` how to handle whitespaces, in the same way
as the '--whitespace' option. See gitlink:git-apply[1].
