#### moving pre-existing repos into gitolite
One simple way to add a pre-existing repo to gitolite is to let gitolite
create it as a brand new repo as in the previous section, and then, from an
existing clone, "push --all" to the new one.
create it as a brand new repo as in the previous section, then do the
following:
However, if you have many existing repos to add, this can be time-consuming
and error-prone. Here's how to take a bunch of existing repos and add them to
gitolite:
cd your-copy-of-the-repo
# make sure all the branches are correct and no extra stuff, "temp"
# branches, etc., are present
git push --all git@server:reponame
git push --tags git@server:reponame
(You could also use "git push --mirror" instead of separately doing branches
and tags, but that will carry across *your* remote refs also, and typically
you may not want that. Anyway please do a `git ls-remote git@server:repo` to
make sure all the stuff you want went through, and is named correctly).

existing repos to add, this can be time-consuming and error-prone. Here's how
to take a bunch of existing repos and add them to gitolite:
* make sure they're *bare* repos ;-)
