+FILTER API
+----------
+about filter::
+ This filter is given no arguments. The about text that is to be
+ filtered is available on standard input and the filtered text is
+ expected on standard output.
+
+commit filter::

+ expected on standard output.
+
+source filter::
+ This filter is given a single parameter: the filename of the source

+ file that is to be filtered is available on standard input and the
+ filtered contents is expected on standard output.
+
+Also, all filters are handed the following environment variables:
+
+- CGIT_REPO_URL (from repo.url)
+- CGIT_REPO_NAME (from repo.name)
+- CGIT_REPO_PATH (from repo.path)
+- CGIT_REPO_OWNER (from repo.owner)
+- CGIT_REPO_DEFBRANCH (from repo.defbranch)
+- CGIT_REPO_SECTION (from repo.section)
+- CGIT_REPO_CLONE_URL (from repo.clone-url)
+
+If a setting is not defined for a repository and the corresponding global
+setting is also not defined (if applicable), then the corresponding
+environment variable will be unset.

MACRO EXPANSION
---------------
The following cgitrc options supports a simple macro expansion feature,
include=/etc/cgitrc.d/$HTTP_HOST
+The following options are expanded during request processing, and support
+the environment variables defined in "FILTER API":
