It defaults to `false`, but one possible use case is to set the value to `true` for the `Code-Review` label in the `All-Projects` project.
That value will then be inherited by all projects that do not override the `Code-Review` label settings.

-
-```
-[protocol]
- version = 2
-```
-
-either in the gerrit user's `~/.gitconfig` to enable for all repositories,
-or on a per repository basis in each repository's `config` file on the
-server.
-
-On the client side, the same `protocol.version` must be set either in
-the user's `~/.gitconfig` or in the repository's `.git/config` file.

+* [Change 208092](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/c/gerrit/+/208092):
+Disable support for Git protocol v2.
+
+ The JGit implementation of protocol V2 does not invoke the
+ advertiseRefsHook on fetch and ls-refs, which results in all
+ refs being sent, regardless of the configured ACLs.

-* [Issue 9768](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=9768):
-Explicitly set the number of shards and replicas for Elasticsearch, and
-allow them to be configured.
-
- From Elasticsearch version 7 the default number of shards per node
- will be changed from 5 to 1.
-
- The number of shards and number of replicas are now explicitly set when
- creating the index.
-
- The new settings `elasticsearch.numberOfShards` and `elasticsearch.numberOfReplicas`
- allow the values to be configured. The default values are 5 and 1,
- respectively, which is the same as the default values used by Elasticsearch
- prior to version 7.

Fix incorrect json in the example for the 'Set Access' REST endpoint.

+* [Issue 9781](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=9781):
+Fix full ACL evaluation for LDAP groups.
+
+ The LDAP groups have been historically filtered by relevance to

+ of blocking users to access legitimate projects if they are
+ temporarily not cached in memory.
+ Allow to disable the LDAP filtering optimization for having always
+ a 100% consistent ACL evaluation, regardless of the project's cache
+ status.
