permissions to two special usernames: `gitweb` and `daemon`.
You can also keep these pieces separate from the detailed, branch level access To enable access to one or more repos via git daemon, just give "read"
for each repo, if you like, since you can write the access control specs in permissions to the special username `daemon`.
