compile: (oopsies...) plug security hole in delegation feature
I was trying to determine how close gitolite can come to the ACL model of a proprietary product called codebeamer, and one of the items was how to make a "role" (like QA_Lead) have different "members" in different projects. I then realised delegation already does that! Which is great, but as I thought about it more, I realised... well, we'll let the in-code comments speak for themselves :-) Anyway, all it needed was a 1-line fix, luckily... <phew> And it would have only affected people who use delegation.
