+    for wire protocol commands that send zlib compressed output (notably the
+    commands that send repository history data).

+    The default (``-1``) uses the default zlib compression level, which is
+    likely equivalent to ``6``. ``0`` means no compression. ``9`` means
+    maximum compression.
+
+    Setting this option allows server operators to make trade-offs between
+    bandwidth and CPU used. Lowering the compression lowers CPU utilization
+    but sends more bytes to clients.
+
+    This option only impacts the HTTP server.
