  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".

  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

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