Earlier, it wasn't as critical for gl-setup to be run with the full
path; the BINDIR deduction used to happen in almost every program. Now
it's a lot more important.
Apparently I never noticed that "/bin/bash -l gl-setup" does not set $0
to the correct, fq path. Adding a "-c" does, however...
[thanks to Jeff from the KDE team for finding this]
This shaves 3 seconds off of KDE's config compile time :-)
Yes, I know wrap_print has that extra print statement, but otherwise it
was lying around not earning its keep so I gave it a little side job :-)
you might wonder why these are different from all the other variables in
the rc file... it's just that I never thought people would want to
change these!
This new adc allows you to run arbitrary git commands on the server.
It is disabled by default, and you have to READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS **AND**
SOURCE CODE BEFORE DEPLOYING.
This patch is dedicated to the person who, when referred to [1] for
gitweb access help, assumed we're talking about a Unix userid called
"gitweb" and said it still doesn't work. He looked at the description
examples and wasn't sure what to do with them. Finally, he missed the
sentence "All gitolite does is:" in the document, and assumed *he* was
supposed to do what the next 3 bullets said (in this case, create the
"description" file manually).
He didn't once think of the gitolite.conf file as being the location for
these instructions, or that "give read access" means "R = ..." instead
of a Unix level "chmod ...".
Do things have to be spelled out so goddamn clearly? Can't people think
for a few seconds and see if there is another way before giving up?
I blame the prevalence of Windows and GUI IDEs. People can only
"click". They can't "think" anymore...

apparently people run it from cron, so this causes a silly one-line
email saying just "Already on master"
thanks to shruggar on #git for pointing out to me that it is quite safe
to use --quiet and will not lose any actual error messages :)
- allow a mob username to be defined; all unauthenticated access will
look to gitolite like this user (if you setup apache also properly)
- update doc with more details (some repeat stuff from `man
git-http-backend` but it's probably worth having everything in one
place
Fedora's config has over 11,000 repositories and the compiled config
file is over 20 MB in size. Although negligible on a server class
machine, on my laptop just parsing this file takes a good 2.5 seconds.
Even if you use GL_ALL_READ_ALL (see a couple of commits before this
one) to remove the overhead for 'read's, that's still a pretty big
overhead for writes. And GL_ALL_READ_ALL is not really a solution for
most people anyway.
With this commit, using GL_BIG_CONFIG adds another optimisation; see
doc/big-config.mkd for details (look for the word "split config" to find
the section that talks about it).
----
Implementation notes:
- the check for GL_NO_CREATE_REPOS has moved *into* the loop (which it
completely bypassed earlier) so that write_1_compiled_conf can be
called on each item
