- 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.
- 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
(Not sure how I missed this earlier, but if you can't upgrade yet, a
mitigation is to note the job number that gets printed on your terminal
when a mirror push starts, and look a log file entries beginning with
that number.)
also
- new "WEB_INTERFACE" variable (defaults to 'gitweb')
- setup_web_access (write a plain list of repos out)
- add_del_web_access (add/delete a single repo from projects.list)
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:

Thanks to Dan Carpenter for the audit.
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.
- 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
...for the code, not for the admin ;-)
OK that sounds nasty but really it's not that bad. We're replacing some
code with a one-time step for the admin which is also likely to be more
future-proof.

major changes
- (src) one error message got more detail
- long overdue fixup to developer notes doc
plus many minor changes that have been piling up
PS: to dig into the "alliterative animal" comment, check the channel
logs around aug 23rd ;-)
comments from contributor via email:
* Translates all repos from gitosis to gitolite, even if their are not
associated with any groups
* Transfers gitweb settings (gitweb, description and owner)
* Transfers git-dameon settings
* Maintains comments for groups and repos
As far as I can tell, the results from this filter are working fine
for our transfer from gitosis to gitolite.
requested by someone who told me it's high time I catered to the experts
too, and saved them some time on the install!
I took the opportunity to streamline the README (especially the "what"
section), and to prioritise the non-root method over the root method in
the install doc.
wrap_print() was written to create a new file and rename the old one to
avoid a partially written file being read by other processes. This has
only been reported for the 'projects.list' file, but I just did it for
all files as a matter of course.
list of files currently written via this function:
gl-creater, gl-perms, description, git-daemon-export-ok, projects.list
However, some people want to do the following:
- set REPO_UMASK tight (0077, default)
- manually change the perms to something looser (typically g+rX) for
specific repos
- set core.sharedRepository to 0750 (git is documented to honor that
config if available and to override umask)
Except that core.sharedRepository does not apply to files written by
gitolite and not git itself. So they would open up their description
files and the next compile would close them again!
This patch prevents this from happening. If the file already exists, it
maintains the same permissions after the rename.
previously, these two would produce different results
config aa.bb = 'true' # config file line includes single quotes
config aa.bb = "true" # config file line does not include any quotes
Now the former will also behave like the latter.
