people with shell access should be allowed to bypass the update hook, to
allow them to clone locally and push. You can now do this by setting an
env var that the ssh "front door" will never set, like so:
GL_BYPASS_UPDATE_HOOK=1 git push
Note that this will NOT work for the gitolite-admin repo, because the
post-update hook on that one requires a bit more. If you really want to
do that, try:
GL_ADMINDIR=~/.gitolite GL_BINDIR=~/.gitolite/src GL_BYPASS_UPDATE_HOOK=1 git push
(assuming default values in ~/.gitolite.rc)
normally, RW+ means permission to rewind or delete.
Now, if you use "D" permission anywhere in a repo config, that means
"delete" and RW+ then means only "rewind", no delete.
- no need to put it at the end of the config file now, yeaaay!
- @all for @all is meaningless and not supported. People asking will
be told to get a life or use git-daemon.
- NAME/ limits for @all repos is ignored for efficiency reasons.
The new style personal branches work by interpreting the special
sequence /USER/ (including the slashes) in a refname. Docs should be in
the next commit...
the changes to cp/scp are because without "-p" they dont carry perms
across to existing files. So if you forgot to chmod +x your custom
hook and ran easy install, then after that you have to go to the server
side to fix the perms...
