+See pillar.example for an exhaustive list of settings available via pillar. Note
+that by default this state:
+
+- downloads the latest formulas from the `saltstack-formulas project
+  <https://github.com/saltstack-formulas>`_ on GitHub.
+- does not update the local repositories after the initial clone.
+  This is a safety measure since you do not control how the official
+  repositories evolve.
+
+If you configure the state to download the formulas from repositories that
+you control, then you can safely enable the
+``salt_formulas:git_opts:default:update`` pillar setting to ``True``.

 =================
 Every option available in the templates can be set in pillar. Settings under 'salt' will be overridden by more specific settings under ``salt['master']``, ``salt['minion']`` or ``salt['cloud']``
