Patrick Westerhoff 57bea39a1e Add special %GL_CREATOR variable for git-config
Add a special variable `%GL_CREATOR` to the the git-config trigger that
is replaced by the name of the repository creator (if any).

This can be useful to set up the default owner configuration for wild
repositories.

Example:

    repo assignments/CREATOR/a[0-9][0-9]
        C   = @students
        RW+ = CREATOR
        config gitweb.owner = %GL_CREATOR

Sitaram Chamarty 49580fe4b3 doc split :(
Background

  * I needed to have the documentation under CC-BY-NC-SA (something
    happened to force me to choose)

  * Distros don't like the NC part.  They'd rather drop the
    documentation entirely instead

  * I don't like that; it bothers me that even a clueful guy won't be
    able to do a basic install with what comes in the package.

  * Meanwhile, I have always had the occasional "TL;DR" complaint about
    my docs

Taking all this into account, it seemed like the best way was:

  * Create a brand new README.txt that is crisp enough for someone to
    glance through and quickly get started.  At more then 300 lines, it
    covers enough ground that probably 60% of sites don't need more.

    Put this under the CC-BY-SA license, which is on the "good" list for
    Fedora (and also Debian, I am told).

  * Move the current documents to a new "gitolite-doc" repo that distros
    can simply ignore, but anyone who has trouble can go to.

    Make sure the online pages have the same content at the same URLs as
    they do now, getting it instead from this new repo.

    Link to the main URL in the new README.txt

Sitaram Chamarty 53f9a867df accumulated docfixes...
- 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!)

Konstantin Gribov fb9829a698 Fixed url decoding in http gitolite command bypass.
Only '+' sign was unescaped in `http_simulate_ssh_connection()`.
When user translates `ssh git@host perms <repo> + <role> <user>` to
`curl https://host/git/perms?<repo>+%2b+<role>+<user>` nothing happens.
This commit fixes it modifying url unescaping.

committer notes: changed the regex per 'man URI::Escape'

Sitaram Chamarty 3c0f177481 Allow user-specified programs to override system-installed ones
(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

Sitaram Chamarty 10cd5b9abe 'upstream' trigger can now be used as a server command also
i.e., a client fetch will invoke the push, (subject to 'nice' setting),
but you can also force a fetch regardless of last fetch time by running
this command directly on the server:

    gitolite ../triggers/upstream fetch <reponame>

Also, use FETCH_HEAD instead of own sentinel file (idea courtesy Luke Lu)

Sitaram Chamarty ad34cf2856 minor backward incompat breakage in 'gitolite query-rc'
'gitolite query-rc' now only queries one variable at a time.  That is,
you cannot do something like this:

    gitolite query-rc UMASK GL_ADMIN_BASE

to query both variables.  I think this is rarely used, plus it is easy
to work-around (just run two separate commands), so it was sacrificed
for the ability to do this:

    gitolite query-rc -q COMMANDS fork

which tells you whether $rc{COMMANDS}{fork} exists or not.

John Keeping 4abadc2b54 Grant shell access to all keys for shell users
If a user has multiple keys, ssh-authkeys-shell-users will only add the
"-s" flag to the first key it finds.  Change the substitution to apply
to all matching lines and hence grant shell access to all of the user's
keys.

Sitaram Chamarty db70595b87 fixup to pushing wild repos permissions...
- 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.

Sitaram Chamarty 78866f6f28 (experimental code) push wild repos across a master slave connection
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.

Sitaram Chamarty d9df70a04f allow getting config settings for non-existant repos also
It's reasonable to want to see config items (for example, mirror
settings) that *would* apply if the repo existed.

Sitaram Chamarty 21dbe53d39 fix minor bug in handling 'desc = "some description"'
repo foo
        desc = "foo"
        RW  =   u1
        ...etc...

The order of the clauses was parsing this like the old 'reponame = "some
description"' and end up creating a repo called 'desc'!

It would also, as a side-effect, change the repo so what you thought
were access rules for 'foo' would become access rules for 'desc'.
