  17 GLOBAL SETTINGS
  18 ---------------
  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".

  51
  52 clone-prefix::
  53         Space-separated list of common prefixes which, when combined with a

  56         none.
  57
  58 commit-filter::
  59         Specifies a command which will be invoked to format commit messages.

 230         '/cgit/tree/README' as opposed to '?r=cgit&p=tree&path=README'. Default
 231         value: none.
 232         NOTE: cgit has recently learned how to use PATH_INFO to achieve the
 233         same kind of virtual urls, so this option will probably be deprecated.
