+ This should be a colon-separated list of absolute paths. If

+ the entries in this list and resolve any symlink that
+ might be present in order to compare them with the current
+ directory. However, if even this access is slow, you
+ can add an empty entry to the list to tell Git that the
+ subsequent entries are not symlinks and needn&#8217;t be resolved;
+ e.g.,
+ <em>GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES=/maybe/symlink::/very/slow/non/symlink</em>.
