Sitaram Chamarty 6a5d564917 (minor) less important docs have "## title" now
this is so the make-gh-pages (not part of gitolite) script can boldface
the ones which have "# title"

Sitaram Chamarty 196b41e0fd *major* doc revamp
people will NOT read documentation, especially the bloody install
documentation.  I'm about ready to throw in the towel and declare
gitolite unsupported, take-it-or-leave-it.

But I'm making one last attempt to refocus the install doc to better
suit the "I know I'm very smart and I dont have to read docs so it's
clearly your fault that I am not able to install gitolite" crowd.

As a bonus, though, I ended up making proper, hyper-linked, TOCs for
most of the docs, and moved a whole bunch of stuff around.  Also finally
got some of the ssh stuff over from my git-notes repo because it really
belongs here.

Sitaram Chamarty 2456cc17c8 personal branches: de-emphasise old-style, document new-style
There are some disadvantages to the old-style personal branch scheme.
It only allows one specific pattern (of refname) to be used, forces that
pattern to be applicable to *all* repos in the entire config, and
requires editing the rc file (on the server) to be edited to achieve
this.

In other words, it's a very blunt instrument...

The new style depends on using lines like this within a specific repo
config:

        RW+ personal/USER/      =   @userlist

The important thing is that the "branch" name should contain `/USER/`
(including the slashes).  Access is still determined by the right hand
side of course.

This gives you the following advantages:

  - allow it only for repos that need it
  - allow different patterns to be used for different repos
  - allow *multiple* patterns; just add more than one such line
  - allow the pattern to have suffixes (eg: foo/USER/bar)
