+REPOSITORY-SPECIFIC CGITRC FILE
+-------------------------------
+When the option "scan-path" is used to auto-discover git repositories, cgit
+will try to parse the file "cgitrc" within any found repository. Such a
+repo-specific config file may contain any of the repo-specific options
+described above, except "repo.url" and "repo.path". Additionally, the "filter"
+options are only acknowledged in repo-specific config files when
+"enable-filter-overrides" is set to "1".
+
+Note: the "repo." prefix is dropped from the option names in repo-specific
+config files, e.g. "repo.desc" becomes "desc".
