The backward compat breakage is for people who already have all kinds of
arbitrary characters in filenames *and* use `NAME/` rules. See the doc
change in this commit for details and mitigation. See this link for
background:

Thanks to Dan Carpenter for the audit.
some separation between the 2 types so far, plus add a third section for
importing *wildcard* repos wholesale. And finally add some explanations
for folks who want to know why.
- make the warning less juvenile ;-)
- de-emphasise the connection to wild repos; it's not as deep as the
doc made it out to be
- move the historical stuff out of the way
major changes
- (src) one error message got more detail
- long overdue fixup to developer notes doc
plus many minor changes that have been piling up
PS: to dig into the "alliterative animal" comment, check the channel
logs around aug 23rd ;-)
requested by someone who told me it's high time I catered to the experts
too, and saved them some time on the install!
I took the opportunity to streamline the README (especially the "what"
section), and to prioritise the non-root method over the root method in
the install doc.
- caution about wild repos needing to be manually created on the
receiving side (because nothing gets auto-created now)
- caution about the right and wrong way to "delete" a config variable
- a few other minor fixes
We previously said all mirroring features are disabled if GL_HOSTNAME is
not set.
But what if, after mirroring has been setup, and master/slaves defined
for a repo, a slave admin fat-fingers the RC file and accidentally
comments out GL_HOSTNAME? We might end up violating RULE NUMBER ONE!
to my eternal shame (considering how proud I am of my documentation)
this was not mentioned anywhere! I'm getting old...
thanks to Pierre Habouzit for catching this
(also slipped in a few other minor doc changes. I wouldn't mix
unrelated stuff in a commit when doing code changes but it seems ok to
do this for docfixes, for some reason).
"gitolite-without-ssh" doc name was misleading; rename to
"authentication-vs-authorisation"
also restructure the whole thing to answer the main question better, and
fix up links from other places
