Defaults to `1`. ++ +The only other value currently allowed is `2`, which uses a structured file +format to result in a smaller `packed-refs` file. In order to write this +file format version, the repository must also have the `packed-v2` extension +enabled. The most typical setup will include the +`core.repositoryFormatVersion=1` config value and the `extensions.refFormat` +key will have three values: `files`, `packed`, and `packed-v2`. ++ +If `extensions.refFormat` has the value `packed-v2` and not `packed`, then +`refs.packedRefsVersion` defaults to `2`. |
