init.defaultRefStorageFormat
Allows overriding the default ref storage format for new repositories. See --ref-storage-format= in linkgit:git-init[1]. Both the command line option and the GIT_DEFAULT_REF_STORAGE_FORMAT environment variable take precedence over this config.

init.defaultRefFormat
Deprecated alias of init.defaultRefStorageFormat.

init.defaultSubmodulePathConfig
A boolean that specifies if git init and git clone should automatically set extensions.submodulePathConfig to true. This allows all new repositories to automatically use the submodule path extension. Defaults to false when unset.
