  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".

 221         value: none.
 222         NOTE: cgit has recently learned how to use PATH_INFO to achieve the
 223         same kind of virtual urls, so this option will probably be deprecated.
