- non-core documentation reduced to be easier to maintain
- much reduced progit section submitted to scott chacon, necessitating
some changes to this copy
- other minor stuff
- the "idiot-proof setup" :)
(plus get rid of that silly "dot.pl"; it's not needed any more, if it
ever was!)
(manually tested)
- new rc var: GL_BINDIR2; see doc update in this commit
- added _which() function to search both $GL_BINDIR and $GL_BINDIR2
- 'gitolite <command>', non-perl triggers, VREFs, and sugar, use this
- unshifted $GL_BINDIR2/lib into @INC upfront in Rc.pm
- perl triggers use this
- fix docs to explicitly state that mirroring wild repos is a bad idea
if the authentication data is not the same on the peers.
- an important check against a malicious peer was missed out. If
people heed the warning above this check is not really needed but it
is good for completeness.
- warning about redirected pushes removed, thanks to Ronald Ip having
tested it and reported it working.
It creates the repo on the remote side (getting the creator name from
the gl-creator file and sending it across), as well as sending gl-perms
on subsequent connections.
This has only been minimally tested. E.g., complex setups or asymmetric
configs on master and slave, etc. have NOT been tested.
This has also not been tested with redirected pushes.
...so there's no need for the VREF.
Ironically, while I was arguing with Eli that I wouldn't do it and why,
the code was *already* there, and had been for over a month! (It must
have been there for much longer for me to have forgotten!)
TODO: convert from using fingerprint compute to actual key strings when
the complaints about speed start appearing.
My own personal speed up loop [1] I guess :)
[1]: http://thedailywtf.com/Articles/Classic-WTF-The-Speedup-Loop.aspx
(1) the backward compat breakage: you can't create empty-valued config
keys anymore. That is, you can't do the eqvt of the following shell
command using gitolite
git config foo.bar ""
(2) fixed a bug where this:
repo foo
config foo.bar =
when queried using
gitolite git-config -r foo .
would return even the empty valued ones, which -- remember! -- are
not supposed to exist anymore.
Fixing this bug allows situations like this to not show the admin
repo in gitweb:
repo [a-z].*
config gitweb.owner = P-h B
repo gitolite-admin
config gitweb.owner =
----
background...
Somewhere in g3 (well actually in 057506b), we lost the ability to
distinguish
config foo.bar = ""
from
config foo.bar =
I decided that conflating them is more intuitive for most people,
because a survey [1] revealed that no one seemed to want the equivalent
of the following shell command:
----
[1] ...of a (small prime greater than 1) number of people on #git
Using a g2-style "chained update hook" as a VREF doesn't *quite* work:
- all STDOUT from the hook is lost
- worse, all lines get parsed as a ref followed by a message, and if
the ref doesn't look like a ref it dies
So now we do all this only if the message starts with 'VREF/'. Any
other output is just printed out as is.
This patch adds instructions for configuring Gitolite and Apache 2.x
to make repositories available to both ssh and http clients.
[minor fixups by committer]
thanks to milki for all the efforts!
Details:
- partial-copy fell afoul of BSD not having $RANDOM
- test suite: fix bad GNU sort with good perl sort
- test suite: fix md5sum dependency (which BSD doesn't have or can't
easily have or requires extra options or whatever...), by doing it
in perl. (Requires Digest::MD5, which is probably available
anyway, but since this is only for the test suite, meh!)
- migration and non-core reachable from master-toc now
- migration flow changed. install.mkd, migration section, is [migr]
now, drives the whole thing now, links to g2migr
- more details on how to wipe out old gitolite
plus some minor fixes
(manually tested, no test script)
the whimsically named "D" command deletes repos, and is the opposite of
the "C" permission that enables the user to create one in the first
place. See the usage message for user info, and look in the comments of
the code itself for admin info.
- minor typo fixes, clarifications, etc.
- keep sts.html url consistent, because many people link to
http://sitaramc.github.com/gitolite/sts.html
- create a common migration doc, so the old 'migr.html' does not 404
when g3 docs become "main"
- progit doc done
- add gitosis convert script (FWIW)
- a minor comment fix to Sugar.pm
