The above two configuration variables can be given to a pattern. For
example, this sets non-default expiry values only to remote tracking
branches:

------------
[gc "refs/remotes/*"]
reflogExpire = never
reflogexpireUnreachable = 3 days
------------

The optional configuration variable 'gc.rerereresolved' indicates
how long records of conflicted merge you resolved earlier are
kept. This defaults to 60 days.
