You probably do not need to adjust this value. Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported. core.deltaBaseCacheLimit:: - Maximum number of bytes to reserve for caching base objects + Maximum number of bytes per thread to reserve for caching base objects that may be referenced by multiple deltified objects. By storing the entire decompressed base objects in a cache Git is able to avoid unpacking and decompressing frequently used base
