Once you've lost, reply to this message with the configuration you could
not live without.

I'm not opting in into the challenge, but here are my mandatory global 
configurations:

[core]
        editor = rvim

I set core.editor to rvim because of my habit to edit using restricted 
vim (as I only use vim to edit files, nothing else).

Why not VISUAL=rvim? (or EDITOR)

[merge]
        conflictstyle = diff3

With diff3 conflict style, I can clearly see the context of conflict 
(base) instead of having to choose between either side without context.

For several repos, I do GPG-sign commits, so the required config is:

Yeap, just like apparently everyone else.

On very large repos I have (for example GCC and Linux kernel), I have:

quoted

[pack]
        packSizeLimit = 650m
        windowMemory = 400m

Both pack.packSizeLimit and pack.windowMemory helps when doing 
git-repack there. With the former, the resulting pack file is limited to 
650M size each, and the latter set memory window during delta compression.

All right. But I presume you don't need to do `git repack` that often.
You can wait a month, or type --max-pack-size --window-memory if you
really must run it.

Either way it's probably not some defaults that newcomers would benefit
from.

Cheers.
