.SH "SIGNALS"

Sending \fBSIGUSR1\fR to the \fIgit fast\-import\fR process ends the current packfile early, simulating a \fBcheckpoint\fR command\&. The impatient operator can use this facility to peek at the objects and refs from an import in progress, at the cost of some added running time and worse compression\&.
+.SH "CONFIGURATION"
+.sp
+Everything below this line in this section is selectively included from the \fBgit-config\fR(1) documentation\&. The content is the same as what\(cqs found there:
+.PP
+fastimport\&.unpackLimit
+.RS 4
+If the number of objects imported by
+\fBgit-fast-import\fR(1)
+is below this limit, then the objects will be unpacked into loose object files\&. However if the number of imported objects equals or exceeds this limit then the pack will be stored as a pack\&. Storing the pack from a fast\-import can make the import operation complete faster, especially on slow filesystems\&. If not set, the value of
+\fBtransfer\&.unpackLimit\fR
+is used instead\&.
