+# Strict checking of overlay definitions
+#
+# The nocheck option is a bit confusing, for historical reasons.
+# Hopefully this description eases the double negation trouble:
+#
+# nocheck : yes
+# - Accepts completene overlay entries without warnings
+# - Lists overlays of type foo (say Git) even with no foo installed
+#
+# nocheck : no
+# - Checks overlay entries for missing description or contact
+# information and issue warnings as needed
+# - Hides overlays of type foo (say Git) if foo not not installed
+#
+nocheck : yes
+
+#-----------------------------------------------------------
+# Umask settings
+#
+# layman should usually work with a umask of 0022. You should
+# only change this setting if you are absolutely certain that
+# you know what you are doing.

+#
+# /home/you/local/bin/git
+#
+# or just the command, e.g.
+#
+# git
+#
+# to use PATH-based resolution of the binary to call.
