+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].
