+`GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL`::
+	If set, provide a colon-separated list of protocols which are
+	allowed to be used with fetch/push/clone. This is useful to
+	restrict recursive submodule initialization from an untrusted
+	repository. Any protocol not mentioned will be disallowed (i.e.,
+	this is a whitelist, not a blacklist). If the variable is not
+	set at all, all protocols are enabled.  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,
+	    `git+ssh://`, etc).
+
+	  - `rsync`: git over rsync
+
+	  - `http`: git over http, both "smart http" and "dumb http".
+	    Note that this does _not_ include `https`; if you want both,
+	    you should specify both as `http:https`.
+
+	  - any external helpers are named by their protocol (e.g., use
+	    `hg` to allow the `git-remote-hg` helper)
