-am.keepcr::
-	If true, git-am will call git-mailsplit for patches in mbox format
-	with parameter `--keep-cr`. In this case git-mailsplit will
-	not remove `\r` from lines ending with `\r\n`. Can be overridden
-	by giving `--no-keep-cr` from the command line.
-	See linkgit:git-am[1], linkgit:git-mailsplit[1].
-
-am.threeWay::
-	By default, `git am` will fail if the patch does not apply cleanly. When
-	set to true, this setting tells `git am` to fall back on 3-way merge if
-	the patch records the identity of blobs it is supposed to apply to and
-	we have those blobs available locally (equivalent to giving the `--3way`
-	option from the command line). Defaults to `false`.
-	See linkgit:git-am[1].
