* moving [existing][] (bare) repos into gitolite control

## #conf access control (the gitolite.conf file)
Most of gitolite's power is in the conf/gitolite.conf file, which specifies
detailed access control for repos.

RW = ashok # line 6
R = wally # line 7
config hooks.emailprefix = '[%GL_REPO] ' # line 8
