+protocol.allow::
+ If set, provide a user defined default policy for all protocols which
+ don't explicitly have a policy (`protocol.<name>.allow`). By default,
+ if unset, known-safe protocols (http, https, git, ssh, file) have a
+ default policy of `always`, known-dangerous protocols (ext) have a
+ default policy of `never`, and all other protocols have a default
+ policy of `user`. Supported policies:
++
+--
+
+* `always` - protocol is always able to be used.
+
+* `never` - protocol is never able to be used.
+
+* `user` - protocol is only able to be used when `GIT_PROTOCOL_FROM_USER` is
+ either unset or has a value of 1. This policy should be used when you want a
+ protocol to be directly usable by the user but don't want it used by commands which
+ execute clone/fetch/push commands without user input, e.g. recursive
+ submodule initialization.
+
+--
+
+protocol.<name>.allow::
+ Set a policy to be used by protocol `<name>` with clone/fetch/push
+ commands. See `protocol.allow` above for the available policies.
++
+The protocol names currently used by git are:
++
+--
+ - `file`: any local file-based path (including `file://` URLs,
+ or local paths)
+
+ - `git`: the anonymous git protocol over a direct TCP
+ connection (or proxy, if configured)
+
+ - `ssh`: git over ssh (including `host:path` syntax,
+ `ssh://`, etc).
+
+ - `http`: git over http, both "smart http" and "dumb http".
+ Note that this does _not_ include `https`; if you want to configure
+ both, you must do so individually.
+
+ - any external helpers are named by their protocol (e.g., use
+ `hg` to allow the `git-remote-hg` helper)
+--
+
+protocol.version::
+ Experimental. If set, clients will attempt to communicate with a
+ server using the specified protocol version. If unset, no
+ attempt will be made by the client to communicate using a
+ particular protocol version, this results in protocol version 0
+ being used.
+ Supported versions:
++
+--
+
+* `0` - the original wire protocol.
+
+* `1` - the original wire protocol with the addition of a version string
+ in the initial response from the server.
+
+* `2` - link:technical/protocol-v2.html[wire protocol version 2].
