There has been a format change to the compiled output file.  As the
CHANGELOG says:

    Upgrading to v1.5 from any version prior to v1.5 requires an extra
    step for people who installed gitolite using the "system install /
    user setup" method described in doc/0-INSTALL.mkd.  For such
    installations, after the administrator has upgraded gitolite
    system-wide, each "gitolite host" user must run `gl-setup` once
    (without any arguments).

    This is *not* an issue if you installed using src/gl-easy-install.

- v1.5 -- IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTES below
Upgrading to v1.5 from any version prior to v1.5 requires an extra step for
people who installed gitolite using the "system install / user setup" method
described in doc/0-INSTALL.mkd. For such installations, after the
administrator has upgraded gitolite system-wide, each "gitolite host" user
must run `gl-setup` once (this time without any arguments).
- "deny" rules should now work even in "big-config" due to previous change
- proper rule sequencing (required major format change)
- allow usergroup info to be passed in from outside, say via LDAP; see
doc/big-config.mkd for details
- (new) big-config is now part of mainline (old one had bitrotted); see
doc/big-config.mkd for details
- gl-system-install: help people simulate an RPM/DEB install by just running
that commmand with appropriate arguments; see doc/0-INSTALL.mkd
- admin-defined commands; see doc/admin-defined-commands.mkd
- v1.4.2 (prep for major refactor on rights queries
