Sitaram Chamarty c4069dd85f (please read full commit message) upgrade behaviour changed
**upgrades no longer touch the config or the keydir**

When you first install gitolite, the easy install script has to do two
*distinct* things:

  * install the software
  * create and seed the gitolite-admin repo with a minimum config file
    and the newly created pubkey

That's fine for an install, because nothing exists yet anyway.

Subsequent invocations of the script should only do the first task (so
that gitolite itself can be upgraded), and not attempt to fiddle with
the config file and pubkeys.

Unfortunately, until now I had not been separating these two activities
cleanly enough.  For instance, the commit message for 8e47e01 said:

    IMPORTANT: we assume that $admin_name remains the same in an upgrade
    -- that's how we detect it is an upgrade!  Change that name or his
    pubkey, and you're toast!

Ouch!

So now I decided to clean things up.  The "Usage" message tells you
clearly what to do for an upgrade.

Should have been like this from the beginning, but hey we got there
eventually :)

----

Code-wise, this is a major refactor of the easy install script.  It uses
an old forgotten trick to get forward refs for bash functions ;-) and in
the process cleans up the flow quite a bit.

Sitaram Chamarty 130478ed93 easy install: handle upgrades specially
- "it's an upgrade" is decided by presence of gitolite.conf (not a pubkey)
  - admin_name optional (and will be ignored if given) for upgrades

plus a lot of comments and some minor text changes

Sitaram Chamarty 78d02e1437 the rc file can now be in one of 2 places...
Packaging gitolite for debian requires the rc file to be in /etc/gitolite.
But non-root installs must still be supported, and they need it in $HOME.

This means the rc file is no longer in a fixed place, which needs code to find
the rc file first.  See comments inside new file 'gitolite.pm' for details.

The rest of the changes are in the other programs, to replace the hard-coded
rc filename with a call to this new code.

Sitaram Chamarty 8e47e0117a easy install: much more idempotent...
- example config file is now all comments (should have been that way anyway)
  - we detect if it is an upgrade and act accordingly (see below)

IMPORTANT: we assume that $admin_name remains the same in an upgrade -- that's
how we detect it is an upgrade!  Change that name or his pubkey, and you're
toast!
