+
+# This "watch" ADC can be used to maintain a list of watchers to a
+# repository. You can then perform actions on the watchlist from a
+# hook or ADC.
+#
+# An obvious function of this would be to maintain a list of email
+# addresses that are sent commit notifications. There are however
+# unlimited uses, such as:
+#
+# * Specifying Twitter accounts that should receive notifications
+#   of new clones created via the "fork" ADC
+# * Specifying hostnames of machines that should be poked to update
+#   their repository web views
+# * Etc...
+#
+# The parameters are the repository path, "add"/"remove", and the
+# identifier. These are added along with your system identifier to a 
+# gl-watchers file. However, there is an optional argument that allows you
+# specify what the identifier is used for. This allows you to perform
+# a default action if there is no optional argument, or a specific action
+# depending on what the optional argument. For instance, the gl-watchers
+# file on the server might look like this (note the actions described would
+# only occur if you actually code it in!):
+# 
+# mitchell  mitchell@kde.org [no optional argument; would default to email]
+# mitchell  mitchell@kde.org email [will send email on pushes]
+# mitchell  projects.kde.org httppost [will send commit details in an
+#                                      HTTP POST to proejcts.kde.org]
+#
+#
+# Note that there is no authentication here; any user is allowed to
+# set any identifier, although users can only modify their own
+# identifiers. (This applies of course only to repositories a user can read
+# in the first place!) This script can easily be modified to only allow only
+# administrators (those with write access to the gitolite
+# administration repository) to add or remove watchers. See the
+# commented code below; uncomment it to enable this functionality.
+
+# Adminstrators can use the "sudo" ADC to add entries for specific
+# users.

+# restrict this functionality to administrators only
