Sitaram Chamarty dfdab0f3c8 allow gitolite_rc.mkd values to be overridden by ~/.gitolite.rc
you might wonder why these are different from all the other variables in
the rc file... it's just that I never thought people would want to
change these!

Sitaram Chamarty df157e72b5 <sigh> gitweb doc fixes
This patch is dedicated to the person who, when referred to [1] for
gitweb access help, assumed we're talking about a Unix userid called
"gitweb" and said it still doesn't work.  He looked at the description
examples and wasn't sure what to do with them.  Finally, he missed the
sentence "All gitolite does is:" in the document, and assumed *he* was
supposed to do what the next 3 bullets said (in this case, create the
"description" file manually).

He didn't once think of the gitolite.conf file as being the location for
these instructions, or that "give read access" means "R = ..." instead
of a Unix level "chmod ...".

Do things have to be spelled out so goddamn clearly?  Can't people think
for a few seconds and see if there is another way before giving up?

I blame the prevalence of Windows and GUI IDEs.  People can only
"click".  They can't "think" anymore...

Sitaram Chamarty 86206641c8 warnings on non-root method were not scary enough
(plus some other minor ssh/install related doc enhancements)

Sitaram Chamarty a1cbcf2001 migrate doc neglected to mention that gitolite needs update hook)
(although it *is* documented in doc/2, I can see where a migrating user
may miss that)

Sitaram Chamarty 86852dabe9 (v2 status) mob branches tested (manually) 2011-01-29 17:28:03 +05:30

Sitaram Chamarty 6a5d564917 (minor) less important docs have "## title" now
this is so the make-gh-pages (not part of gitolite) script can boldface
the ones which have "# title"

Sitaram Chamarty 2cbe807b34 (doc) clarify GIT_HTTP_EXPORT_ALL is not mandatory for mixed ssh+http setups 2011-01-20 07:14:19 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 0360dc9f3f test smart http mode, update docs (including mob mode)
- allow a mob username to be defined; all unauthenticated access will
    look to gitolite like this user (if you setup apache also properly)

  - update doc with more details (some repeat stuff from `man
    git-http-backend` but it's probably worth having everything in one
    place

Sitaram Chamarty 10a30c961d (major change in big-config mode) split the compiled config file
Fedora's config has over 11,000 repositories and the compiled config
file is over 20 MB in size.  Although negligible on a server class
machine, on my laptop just parsing this file takes a good 2.5 seconds.

Even if you use GL_ALL_READ_ALL (see a couple of commits before this
one) to remove the overhead for 'read's, that's still a pretty big
overhead for writes.  And GL_ALL_READ_ALL is not really a solution for
most people anyway.

With this commit, using GL_BIG_CONFIG adds another optimisation; see
doc/big-config.mkd for details (look for the word "split config" to find
the section that talks about it).

----

Implementation notes:

  - the check for GL_NO_CREATE_REPOS has moved *into* the loop (which it
    completely bypassed earlier) so that write_1_compiled_conf can be
    called on each item

Sitaram Chamarty 7313d48247 gitolite-down: disable write-access to take backups
(we quietly do not document the 'able' adc, which is now the most
"official" adc in the sense that it has a new test, t64-write-able!)

other notes: fix bug in 'able' (not setting $loc)
