+scan-hidden-path::
+        If set to "1" and scan-path is enabled, scan-path will recurse into
+        directories whose name starts with a period ('.'). Otherwise,
+        scan-path will stay away from such directories (considered as

 scan-path::
         A path which will be scanned for repositories. If caching is enabled,
         the result will be cached as a cgitrc include-file in the cache
