Description

Currently to allow clone filters (upload pack filters), one have to manually set the option via git config, as described on the docs.

To be better, there should be option on app.ini named ALLOW_CLONE_FILTERS (or ALLOW_UPLOAD_PACK_FILTERS) which toggle git config allowpack.togglefilter globally, defaulted to false (which disallow filters). To allow filters, set the option to true.

This option can be overridden on per-repo basis.

Note that clone filters requires Git version 2.22 or later. The option above must be hardcoded to false for instances running Git versions lower than the required.

What's wrong with just setting it in .gitconfig for gitea user.

@zeripath i think i propose this issue for convenience. It is more convenient to have app.ini option that abstracts actual git config than using git config directly
