+submodule.diffJobs::
+	Specifies how many submodules are diffed at the same time. A
+	positive integer allows up to that number of submodules diffed
+	in parallel. A value of 0 will give the number of logical cores.
+	If unset, it defaults to 1. The diff operation is used by many
+	other git commands such as add, merge, diff, status, stash and
+	more. Note that the expensive part of the diff operation is
+	reading the index from cache or memory. Therefore multiple jobs
+	may be detrimental to performance if your hardware does not
+	support parallel reads or if the number of jobs greatly exceeds
+	the amount of supported reads.
+
 submodule.alternateLocation::
 	Specifies how the submodules obtain alternates when submodules are
 	cloned. Possible values are `no`, `superproject`.
