(docfix) you need RW+ to overwrite a tag

to my eternal shame (considering how proud I am of my documentation)
this was not mentioned anywhere!  I'm getting old...

thanks to Pierre Habouzit for catching this

(also slipped in a few other minor doc changes.  I wouldn't mix
unrelated stuff in a commit when doing code changes but it seems ok to
do this for docfixes, for some reason).

The [install][install] document has a quick install section at the top for the
impatient. Just remember that "impatient" does not always mean "successful"
;-)
Gitolite allows you to setup git hosting on a central server, with
fine-grained access control and many (many!) more powerful features.

what that is. The `+` was chosen because it is part of the "git push" syntax
for non-ff pushes.
Note that *tags* are generally considered "write once", so they are treated
specially by gitolite: you need rewind permission (`RW+`) to *overwrite* a
tag with a new value.
In a later section you'll see some more advanced permissions.
