<term><option>--mode</option>="MODE"</term>
<listitem><para>
Initialize repository in given mode
(<literal>bare</literal>, <literal>bare-user</literal>,
<literal>bare-user-only</literal>, <literal>archive</literal>).
The default is <literal>bare</literal>. Note that for
<literal>archive</literal> the repository configuration file
will actually have <literal>archive-z2</literal>, as that's
the historical name.</para>
<para>See the manual for differences between these modes.
Briefly, <literal>bare</literal> mode stores files as they
are, so they can be directly hardlinked,
<literal>bare-user</literal> uses extended attributes to
store ownership and xattr information, allowing non-root
operations, <literal>bare-user-only</literal> does not store
ownership information, and <literal>archive</literal> stores
files compressed, to be served over the network.

<varlistentry>
<term><option>--collection-id</option>=COLLECTION-ID</term>
<listitem><para>
Set the collection ID of the repository. Remotes in clones
of this repository must configure the same value in order to
pull refs which originated in this repository over peer to
peer.</para>
<para>This collection ID must be persistent and globally
unique. It is formatted as a reverse DNS name (like a D-Bus
interface). It must be set to a reverse DNS domain under your
control.</para>
<para>This option may be omitted (the default) to leave
peer to peer distribution unsupported for the repository. A
collection ID may be added to an existing repository in
future to enable peer to peer distribution from that point
onwards.</para>
<para>If the collection ID is changed for the repository
in future, peer to peer distribution of refs from the
repository will break for all peers who do not update their
remote configuration to the new collection ID.
