+bundle.*::
+	The `bundle.*` keys may appear in a bundle list file found via the
+	`git clone --bundle-uri` option. These keys currently have no effect
+	if placed in a repository config file, though this will change in the
+	future. See link:technical/bundle-uri.html[the bundle URI design
+	document] for more details.
+
+bundle.version::
+	This integer value advertises the version of the bundle list format
+	used by the bundle list. Currently, the only accepted value is `1`.
+
+bundle.mode::
+	This string value should be either `all` or `any`. This value describes
+	whether all of the advertised bundles are required to unbundle a
+	complete understanding of the bundled information (`all`) or if any one
+	of the listed bundle URIs is sufficient (`any`).
+
+bundle.<id>.*::
+	The `bundle.<id>.*` keys are used to describe a single item in the
+	bundle list, grouped under `<id>` for identification purposes.
+
+bundle.<id>.uri::
+	This string value defines the URI by which Git can reach the contents
+	of this `<id>`. This URI may be a bundle file or another bundle list.
