         If set to "1" and scan-path is enabled, scan-path will recurse into
         directories whose name starts with a period ('.'). Otherwise,
         scan-path will stay away from such directories (considered as
         "hidden"). Note that this does not apply to the ".git" directory in
         non-bare repos. This must be defined prior to scan-path.
         Default value: 0. See also: scan-path.
 
 scan-path::
         A path which will be scanned for repositories. If caching is enabled,
         the result will be cached as a cgitrc include-file in the cache
         directory. If project-list has been defined prior to scan-path,
         scan-path loads only the directories listed in the file pointed to by
-        project-list. Default value: none. See also: cache-scanrc-ttl,
-        project-list.
+        project-list. Be advised that only the global settings taken
+        before the scan-path directive will be applied to each repository.
+        Default value: none. See also: cache-scanrc-ttl, project-list.
 
 section::
         The name of the current repository section - all repositories defined
         after this option will inherit the current section name. Default value:
         none.
 
 section-from-path::
         A number which, if specified before scan-path, specifies how many
         path elements from each repo path to use as a default section name.
         If negative, cgit will discard the specified number of path elements
         above the repo directory. Default value: 0.
