install.pl, pta hook, upgrade doc:
...
- install the post-update hook also
- fix bashism in pta-hook
Also, since delegation works best with PTA, reflect that in the upgrade doc

p-t-a: make the post-update hook a separate file...
...
...and just refer to it in the doc. This hook will acquire more code soon,
when we do delegations :)

bonus: documented the "bits and pieces" thing properly; should have done this
long ago, but it came to the forefront now thanks to this item

compile/update hook: COMPILED FILE CHANGE -- PLEASE READ BELOW
...
Summary:
DONT forget to run src/gl-compile-conf as the last step in the upgrade
Details:
The compiled file format has changed quite a bit, to make it easier for the
rebel edition coming up :-)
compile:
- we don't split RW/RW+ into individual perms anymore
- we store the info required for the first level check separately now:
(repo, R/W, user)
- the order for second level check is now:
repo, user, [{ref=>perms}...] (list of hashes)
update hook logic: the first refex that:
- matches the incoming ref, AND
- contains the perm you're trying to use,
causes the match loop to exit with success. Fallthrough is failure

compile+doc/3: deal with older gits
...
- detect/warn git version < 1.6.2
- create documentation with details on client-side workaround
- change the "git init --bare" to (older) "git --bare init", since the old
syntax still works anyway

compile+conf: allow lists (@listname) for reponames too
...
why should just usernames have all the fun :) The "expand_userlist" function
is now "expand_list" and serves generically. The example conf has also been
updated correspondingly

faq-tips doc: "compile" as a separate step vindicated :-)
...
it seems gitosis silently ignores config errors. It can't do anything else,
considering *when* the config file is parsed (on every access!)

almost all src/conf: logging totally redone, upgrade doc added
...
- logs go into $GL_ADMINDIR/logs by default, named by year-month
- logfile name template (including dir prefix) now in $GL_LOGT
- two new env vars passed down: GL_TS and GL_LOG (timestamp, logfilename)
- log messages timestamps more compact, fields tab-delimited
- old and new SHAs cut to 14 characters

doc fixes:
...
- 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
