Sitaram Chamarty 53f1a77f7f admin doc: clarify why authkeys is needed and what it does
I was very insistently told by a user that I should just create the file
if it does not exist, but this is as far as I am willing to go

Sitaram Chamarty 78a10a1ee1 compile: another solaris compat fix, to do with "~"
system("...") run from perl on sol does not seem to like "~" (regardless of
what $SHELL is set to), so use $ENV{HOME} instead

thanks again to evocallaghan

Sitaram Chamarty b916a07d28 update hook: using non-std branches revealed an unnecessary check for refs/heads/; removed 2009-08-30 17:04:27 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty e55fc3b7f3 minor: remove needless "our"s 2009-08-30 13:28:12 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 08305aa482 install streamlining:
- install.sh is now install.pl (had to happen sooner or later!)
  - now handles updates more gracefully, doesn't overwrite important stuff :)
  - makes the install sequence much easier to understand
    (just run it and follow the prompts!)

  - made ~/.gitolite.rc much clearer to edit
2009-08-30 13:28:08 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty b1c329dbb6 doc fixes:
- install is even clearer now (I hope!), esp to people with root
    access who seem to expect something else :)
  - used path vars (from ~/.gitolite.rc) more consistently, and
  - added refeerences to ~/.gitolite.rc for resolving them

Sitaram Chamarty 4c2c55f2d1 admin doc: clarified the instructions a little more
...it seems some admins are, well, not quite ready to be admins :)

(also some minor typo fixes slipped in)

Sitaram Chamarty 3522087591 compile: REPO_BASE need not be under $HOME
In the "create new repos" loop, we need an absolute value for REPO_BASE, in
order to be able to chdir back and forth.  But (taking the "normal user with
no privileges" assumption too far!) we assumed REPO_BASE would be within
$HOME, and relative to it.  So it fails when someone wants the repo_base
elsewhere.

Now we don't prefix $HOME if REPO_BASE is already absolute (begins with a "/")

Sitaram Chamarty 3ddc9087d3 first production use: @all, leading slash
I had to make two minor fixes while migrating my work repos:

1.  I forgot to honor '@all'; oops!

    While I was about it, I also fixed the "access denied"
    message to show what rights were being tried when it
    failed.

2.  I forgot that URLs can have leading slashes (I myself
    only use URLs like gs:reponame.git, where gs is an ssh
    stanza that describes the git server in question).

Sitaram Chamarty cb5a802d3e DAMN DAMN DAMN those lexical filehandles

Sitaram Chamarty 92cf77d9c2 update hook: squelch message for branch deletion
Ilari pointed out that in case of branch deletion the *new* SHA could be 0,
which causes an ugly

    fatal: Not a valid commit name 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Since we consider deletion an extreme form of rewind, the end result does not
change ($merge_base will be unequal to $oldsha anyway), but we do need to
squelch the ugly message.

Sitaram Chamarty 7d016908bd gl-compile-conf changed (see below) and "rc" file added
- factored out all the pathnames etc to an rc
  - taught it to create repos that dont exist but are mentioned
  - promoted user up one level (moving ref down) because gl-auth needs it
  - REPO_BASE no longer contains $HOME so that has to be added in manually

  - little bugs here and there, like in @refs
