  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".

  52 clone-prefix::
  53         Space-separated list of common prefixes which, when combined with a

 204         value: none.
 205         NOTE: cgit has recently learned how to use PATH_INFO to achieve the
