+REPOSITORY-SPECIFIC GIT CONFIG
+------------------------------
+When "scan-path" is used to auto-discover repositories "enable-git-config" will
+allow cgit to look at git config to obtain repo specific settings.
+Configuration is best managed by gitolite's big-config. Please read more about
+http://sitaramc.github.com/gitolite/confother_.html[gitolite repo specific
+commands here].

+.Example gitolite.conf
+......
+repo aproject

+    config repo.section = applications
+    config repo.defbranch = development
+    aproject "Bob McPerson <bob.mcperson at example.com>" = "Foo description"

+[IMPORTANT]
+Unlike cgitrc, we're looking for repo settings with prefix "cgit.". That is,
+all options named 'repo.XY' above have to be called 'cgit.XY'.  Remember to
+edit _.gitolite.rc_ and add the following:
