##### renaming a repo
This is similar; there's no code to do this in gitolite. What you do is:
* log on to the server, `cd $REPO_BASE` (default: `cd ~/repositories`), and
`mv old-name.git new-name.git`
* back on your gitolite-admin clone, edit `conf/gitolite.conf` and replace
all occurrences of `old-name` with `new-name`. Then add, commit, and push
as usual.
The order of these 2 steps is important; do not reverse them :-)
