+CONFIGURATION
+-------------
+
+Various configuration variables affect packing, see
+linkgit:git-config[1] (search for "pack" and "delta").
+
+Notably, delta compression is not used on objects larger than the
+`core.bigFileThreshold` configuration variable and on files with the
+attribute `delta` set to false.
