  19 agefile::
  20         Specifies a path, relative to each repository path, which can be used
  21         to specify the date and time of the youngest commit in the repository.
  22         The first line in the file is used as input to the "parse_date"
  23         function in libgit. Recommended timestamp-format is "yyyy-mm-dd
  24         hh:mm:ss". Default value: "info/web/last-modified".

  48         Number which specifies the time-to-live, in minutes, for the cached
  49         version of repository pages accessed with a fixed SHA1. Default value:
  50         "5".
  51
  52 clone-prefix::
  53         Space-separated list of common prefixes which, when combined with a

  78         Url used as link to a shortcut icon for cgit. If specified, it is

 208         value: none.
 209         NOTE: cgit has recently learned how to use PATH_INFO to achieve the

 381 Comments currently cannot appear on the same line as a setting; the comment
 382 will be included as part of the value. E.g. this line:
 383
 384         robots=index  # allow indexing
 385
