There's a new "C" permission to let someone *create* a repo that matches
the pattern given in the "repo ..." line. If the word CREATER appears
in the repo pattern, then that is forced to the actual user performing
that operation.
Something like this (we'll discuss READERS and WRITERS later):
repo personal/CREATER/.+
C = @staff
R [foo] = READERS
RW [bar] = WRITERS
...various other permissions as usual...
Delegation checking also changes quite a bit... see comments in code
Implementation: there's also a sneaky little trick we're playing here
with the dumped hash
all of this is prep for the upcoming, all-new, chrome-plated,
"wildrepos" branch :)
- many variables go to gitolite.pm now, and are "our"d into the other
files as needed
- new functions parse_acl, report_basic to replace inlined code
Packaging gitolite for debian requires the rc file to be in /etc/gitolite.
But non-root installs must still be supported, and they need it in $HOME.
This means the rc file is no longer in a fixed place, which needs code to find
the rc file first. See comments inside new file 'gitolite.pm' for details.
The rest of the changes are in the other programs, to replace the hard-coded
rc filename with a call to this new code.
