In gitlab-shell we already have a gitconfig file: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk/gitlab-shell.gitconfig?h=packages/gitlab-shell

However, according to the GitLab docs it should include some more settings: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/install/installation.html#configure-it

Namely:

----
# Disable 'git gc --auto' because GitLab already runs 'git gc' when needed
sudo -u gitlab -H git config --global gc.auto 0

# Enable packfile bitmaps
sudo -u gitlab -H git config --global repack.writeBitmaps true

# Enable push options
sudo -u gitlab -H git config --global receive.advertisePushOptions true

# Enable fsyncObjectFiles to reduce risk of repository corruption if the server crashes
sudo -u gitlab -H git config --global core.fsyncObjectFiles true
----


Resulting in:

----
[user]
name = GitLab
email = gitlab@localhost
[core]
autocrlf = input
fsyncObjectFiles = true
[receive]
advertisePushOptions = true
[gc]
auto = 0
[repack]
writeBitmaps = true
----


I've tested receive.advertisePushOptions, without it you run into this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GitLab#The_server_does_not_support_push_options
But I'm no expert for the other options, is there a specific reason they are not included?
