The sudo adc should make life easier for any admin wishing to run an adc
as some other user.
As a result, the rmrepo adc also goes back to its simple roots. Now you
just run it via the sudo adc if you (as gitolite admin) needs to rmrepo
some user's repo.
- dont do anything if he doesn't even have read access
- move the GL_USER check to the right place! (to when you actually
will be doing something)
That spurious check for GL_USER that we (re)moved would not only have
shown an incomplete set of log lines, it would have made the wrong log
line look like the "last" one. (No real harm would result, of course,
since the update-ref would blow up due to the actual SHA being something
other than what it was expecting, but it would be confusing to the user)
- hardcode 0700 mode for GL_ADMINDIR tree (thanks to ma at
ibitsense.com) for catching this
- honor REPO_UMASK for GL_REPO_BASE_ABS creation
- plus a minor doc update
- 79f0a5f ("(big one!) more than one wildcard may match a repo...")
makes some of the dire warnings about this irrelevant
- d1d2c3e and ad64f99 ("git config settings in wild repos: part 1" and
"...part 2") makes this caveat also useless
While we were about it, we added a quick intro and tried to make some
other details a little clearer.
for people who don't get the continual reference to towels when talking
about the "gl-dont-panic" program, all I can say is that your education
is incomplete ;-)
As usual there's more documentation than code.
Unlike usual, however, this isn't completely tested. Please read the
documentation for details of what works, what doesn't, what has been
tested, what hasn't, and so on.
TODO: if the verb doesn't actually contain "git-receive-pack", I am
assuming it is some sort of read. The list in services[] in
http-backend.c does not seem to look like any other verb is a "write";
need to check this with someone.
For normal git commands:
- PATH_INFO gives you the repo name
- REQUEST_URI gives you the verb
- we construct a fake SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND so the rest of the
processing does not have to change
For our special commands:
- PATH_INFO is actually the verb
- QUERY_STRING has the parameters
- we again fake out the SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND
- we print the extra HTTP headers in anticipation of the actual output
Either way, we also fake out the SSH_CONNECTION so that the IP address
can get logged ok
And of course REMOTE_USER is now the incoming userid
Finally, at the end, we exec GIT_HTTP_BACKEND instead of the normal one
adapted from code by kpfleming@digium.com. I basically cherry-picked
the top commit on "pu-work" (30068d1) on his fork at github, and made
some minor fixups to it
- all anchors prefixed by AUTO_ now
- some bad links fixed (maybe still a few I didn't catch)
- misc wording changes/additions (support section to README,
"technical skills" section to install doc, etc).
because someone else found the doc overwhelming. However, the suggested
reading order (which so far existed only on the wiki) was probably a
good thing to have at the top of the README, and the disclaimers about
ssh may help keep my sanity a little longer ;-)
By default, @all does not include gitweb and daemon, but if that's what
you want, you can make it happen... see GL_ALL_INCLUDES_SPECIAL
variable in conf/example.gitolite.rc
jefferai pointed out that some of the links about this were broken, and
a quick look showed that it was described in multiple places too.
Brought it all together...
This should hopefully be the final step in making wildrepos as close to
normal repos as possible. You can now do pretty much anything with them
that you can do with normal repos [1]
Implementation notes:
- compile puts out %groups into the compiled config file regardless of
GL_BIG_CONFIG because this feature needs it
- wild_repo_rights caches %groups because the part of the %groups hash
we care about will not change between calls in the same run

[1] **except** use the full-blown config file syntax within the gl-perms
file :-) I don't plan to do that; it's too complicated! [2]
[2] yeah yeah I know -- famous last words!
modifications:
- call setup_gitweb_access and setup_daemon_access from with
get_set_perms so when the user sets a perm explicitly it works
- in setup_gitweb_access, do not delete description file or
gitweb.owner if the repo is wild
- make the "fork" adc set gitweb.owner *and* call setperms using
GL_WILDREPOS_DEFPERMS
- add tests
bug fixes:
- gl-auth did not even *look* at GL_WILDREPOS_DEFPERMS when
auto-"C"reating a wild repo; fixed
- setup_gitweb_access did not delete the description file as
consistently as it deleted the owner
what will NOT work:
- removing gitweb permissions does not clear the name from
"projects.list". That's complicated, so just wait till the next
"compile" to make this happen
(thanks to Jefferai for driving this...)

mildly puzzling:
for some strange reason, after a "git ls-remote ...try3" in t58,
instead of not creating a "description" file, we started seeing a
73-byte file containing this message:
Unnamed repository; edit this file 'description' to name the repository.
