+protocol.allow::
+ If set, provide a user defined default policy for all protocols which

+ if unset, known-safe protocols (http, https, git, ssh, file) have a
+ default policy of `always`, known-dangerous protocols (ext) have a

+
+* `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

+ - `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.
