 root-readme::
         The content of the file specified with this option will be included
         verbatim below the "about" link on the repository index page. Default
         value: none.
 
 root-title::
         Text printed as heading on the repository index page. Default value:

 scan-hidden-path::
         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,

 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.
 
 side-by-side-diffs::
         If set to "1" shows side-by-side diffs instead of unidiffs per
         default. Default value: "0".
 
 snapshots::
         Text which specifies the default set of snapshot formats generated by
         cgit. The value is a space-separated list of zero or more of the
         values "tar", "tar.gz", "tar.bz2", "tar.xz" and "zip". Default value:
         none.
 
 source-filter::
         Specifies a command which will be invoked to format plaintext blobs
