		By default, this location is WEB-INF/data.  It is recommended to set this
		path to a location outside your webapps folder that is writable by your
		servlet container.  Gitblit will copy the WEB-INF/data files to that
		location for you when it restarts.  This approach makes upgrading simpler.
		All you have to do is set this parameter for the new release and then
		review the defaults for any new settings.  Settings are always versioned
		with a SINCE x.y.z attribute and also noted in the release changelog.
