I was very insistently told by a user that I should just create the file if it does not exist, but this is as far as I am willing to go
- install is even clearer now (I hope!), esp to people with root access who seem to expect something else :) - used path vars (from ~/.gitolite.rc) more consistently, and - added refeerences to ~/.gitolite.rc for resolving them
...it seems some admins are, well, not quite ready to be admins :) (also some minor typo fixes slipped in)
