Especially after reading about gc.reflogExpire a few paragraphs earlier, where "90 days" and "3 months" are given as examples. Luckily, "man git-config" is a bit clearer. It says that "records ... are kept for this many days". The latter matches the implementation and the tests, which are all written to work with just an integer. So "git config gc.rerereresolved 60" should work. Hope that helps. Martin
