any sane system should have $HOME/bin in $PATH, but apparently there are
quite a few insane systems around ;-)
(also changes the usage message etc a bit)
e5c3b0e on a machine without CGI::Util makes gitolite unusable. I
checked that it was part of perl core, since `corelist CGI::Util`
returns `CGI::Util was first released with perl 5.006001`.
But apparently Fedora (at least) splits out core perl itself into
smaller chunks. And on my devbox I never noticed because I had gitweb
installed, which pulled it in as a dep.
I found this out when I tried to upgrade my own prod server!
For example, this program
#!/bin/sh
die() { echo die called with $1; exit 1; } >&2
die foo
die bar
will print *both* those messages!
I honestly don't care if this is posix or not, but it is BRAIN DEAD for
the ">&2" to change the meaning from {} to ()
Oh and the grep thing is even worse.
echo foo | grep ^/
works fine in an interactive shell but in a script it attempts to
*execute* "/", complains, while simultaneously complaining about usage
of grep.
It's almost like it's treating ^ like |
- support for ADCs with unchecked arguments
- rsync, htpasswd, and svnserve gone from core; turned into ADCs
Backward compat breakage and fix: Please see documentation for details,
but if you're using gitolite to control rsync you will now need to setup
ADCs (admin defined commands), and install at least the new "rsync" ADC.

Thanks to Joey Hess (see commit prior to this) for forcing me to stop
being lazy and get this out of my long term todo list.
- strictly speaking, this should be phrased: "deny" rules for the
first level access check
- requires a gitolite option to be set, like so:
config gitolite-options.deny-repo = 1
(Not sure how I missed this earlier, but if you can't upgrade yet, a
mitigation is to note the job number that gets printed on your terminal
when a mirror push starts, and look a log file entries beginning with
that number.)
also
- new "WEB_INTERFACE" variable (defaults to 'gitweb')
- setup_web_access (write a plain list of repos out)
- add_del_web_access (add/delete a single repo from projects.list)
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
...for the code, not for the admin ;-)
OK that sounds nasty but really it's not that bad. We're replacing some
code with a one-time step for the admin which is also likely to be more
future-proof.

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
