+[[receive.enableProtocolV2]]receive.enableProtocolV2::
++
+Enable support for git protocol version 2.
++
+When this option is enabled, clients may send upload pack using git
+protocol version 2.
++
+The repository must also be configured on the server side to use protocol
+version 2 by setting `protocol.version = 2` either in the gerrit user's
+`~/.gitconfig` file (which will enable it for all repositories) or on
+a per repository basis by setting the option in the `.git/config` file
+of the repository.
++
+Defaults to false, git protocol version 2 is not enabled.
