+- Finally, it is possible to specify an arbitrary perl subroutine that
+  will be called for each project to determine if it can be exported.
+  The subroutine receives an absolute path to the project as its only
+  parameter.
+
+  For example, if you use mod_perl to run the script, and have dumb
+  http protocol authentication configured for your repositories, you
+  can use the following hook to allow access only if the user is
+  authorized to read the files:
+
+    $export_auth_hook = sub {
+        use Apache2::SubRequest ();
+        use Apache2::Const -compile => qw(HTTP_OK);
+        my $path = "$_[0]/HEAD";

+        return $sub->filename eq $path
