Sitaram Chamarty dceb40a104 <sigh> why won't people read just *one* para more...?
OK I agree the starting line was *just* misleading enough to give the
opposite impression, but still, when the next para starts with "The
rules are..." wouldn't you expect people would read *that* too?

Sitaram Chamarty 98720c1bba simplified steps for moving servers
The instructions were written before gl-admin-push was created, I guess,
making things sound a lot more complicated than they should be.

Thanks to Nick (see gitolite mailing list messages, subject line
"replicating a gitolite installation") for helping me realise this
needed fixing.

wu-lee d75a165f1e gitolite.rc.mkd - documentation updates
- use single quotes in examples for GL_GITCONFIG_KEYS regex, and
    briefly explain why

  - emphasise that $GL_GITCONFIG_KEYS patterns match the whole key

Sitaram Chamarty 1363534d8d honor GL_NO_DAEMON_NO_GITWEB for wild repos also
Thanks to Kacper Kornet for catching this...

(by the way, there's a simple workaround if you are affected by this but
can't upgrade to this commit or later: just create an empty
$PROJECTS_LIST file, which is by default ~/projects.list)

Sitaram Chamarty 7744143f6c minor fixup to previous commit documenting merge-check

that need this feature (forgot to put this in the earlier commit)

Sitaram Chamarty 7e02a13a60 (minor fixup to the github "_" adjustment) 2012-01-02 15:56:28 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty af6820a94b new functions (can_*, is_admin, in_group) for ADCs
(can_* == can_read, can_write, and can_create)

See top of contrib/adc/adc.common-functions for more on this.

Note: the old style (calling get_rights_and_owner with $repo, then
checking $perm_read, $perm_write, etc.), will still work fine.

Sitaram Chamarty d5d982d602 (minor doc update) to ssh-troubleshooting doc
missed this one when I did c5f342a (sshkeys-lint total rewrite, and
gl-setup now uses it)

Sitaram Chamarty 582c1873e2 ...because gh-pages won't show files starting with an underscore :(
(and they replied saying "it's by design" so no expectation of a fix)

gross aka Kostya Gribov f6dd9dda0a Added note about chown when migrating to another server
committer note: changed text slightly...

Sitaram Chamarty 6e29365316 MASSIVE set of changes to documents!
I got tired of being told "TL;DR".  Now the online versions of most
documents fit on a page or two, or at least most of them do.  The rest
has been split out (and you can see the links to the split out sections
right where the text is in the raw Markdown).

This is much more pleasant to read, and I've improved the linking so
it's much less effort for me to keep the links correct.

Sitaram Chamarty 877c6625dc minor docfixes
typos, minor clarifications, removing outdated stuff that got missed,
adding some emphasis here and there, re-phrasing some places, etc.
2011-10-30 09:11:04 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 200db6e486 user-manual added ("user" as opposed to "admin")
Normally, I use the word "user" in gitolite to mean *my* users, who are
actually admins on their setups.  All my documentation has been geared
to that class of person.

Last night my most famous "user" (not "admin", a real gitolite user)
mentioned that he found it very hard to find info on what a *user* could
do, and he was right.  So here goes...
2011-10-29 06:28:33 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 57b3ac3a91 (nomenclature in documentation) changed "category" to "role"
I sometimes think my English is not as good as I claim it is.  Or at
least when I'm thinking in perl my English shuts down...
2011-10-29 05:59:03 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 26155c4027 gitolite.conf by example
inspired by someone I would prefer not to have as a user, but hopefully
it will help others with more genuine problems.
2011-10-26 10:01:32 +05:30
Javier Domingo e5c2372609 Corrected doc/3-faq-tips-etc.mkd as refering to previous config (using GL_REPO_BASE) 2011-10-18 09:24:52 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 85da5572b2 some nice ADC changes... (warning: minor backward compat breakage)
- support for ADCs with unchecked arguments
  - rsync, htpasswd, and svnserve gone from core; turned into ADCs

Backward compat breakage and fix: Please see documentation for details,
but if you're using gitolite to control rsync you will now need to setup
ADCs (admin defined commands), and install at least the new "rsync" ADC.

Thanks to Joey Hess (see commit prior to this) for forcing me to stop
being lazy and get this out of my long term todo list.

Sitaram Chamarty 5e3a051a95 "deny" rules for entire repo
- strictly speaking, this should be phrased: "deny" rules for the
    first level access check

  - requires a gitolite option to be set, like so:

        config gitolite-options.deny-repo = 1

Sitaram Chamarty e5c3b0e5dc (projects.list changes) allow escaping the names...
requires setting GITWEB_URI_ESCAPE in the rc file
2011-10-06 19:55:46 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty a07e0d6b5c tighten up ref/file names (warning: possible backward compat breakage)
The backward compat breakage is for people who already have all kinds of
arbitrary characters in filenames *and* use `NAME/` rules.  See the doc
change in this commit for details and mitigation.  See this link for
background:

    http://groups.google.com/group/gitolite/browse_thread/thread/8dc5242052b16d0f

Thanks to Dan Carpenter for the audit.

Sitaram Chamarty 8b501a1872 (doc) assorted docfixes 2011-09-28 04:23:32 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 35f402a140 (admin doc): redo section on moving pre-existing repos into gitolite
some separation between the 2 types so far, plus add a third section for
importing *wildcard* repos wholesale.  And finally add some explanations
for folks who want to know why.
2011-09-27 15:30:24 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 6efea9d7a3 (doc) admin-defined commands doc fixes:
- make the warning less juvenile ;-)
  - de-emphasise the connection to wild repos; it's not as deep as the
    doc made it out to be
  - move the historical stuff out of the way
