Sitaram Chamarty 85da5572b2 some nice ADC changes... (warning: minor backward compat breakage)
- support for ADCs with unchecked arguments
  - rsync, htpasswd, and svnserve gone from core; turned into ADCs

Backward compat breakage and fix: Please see documentation for details,
but if you're using gitolite to control rsync you will now need to setup
ADCs (admin defined commands), and install at least the new "rsync" ADC.

----

Thanks to Joey Hess (see commit prior to this) for forcing me to stop
being lazy and get this out of my long term todo list.

Sitaram Chamarty 5e3a051a95 "deny" rules for entire repo
- strictly speaking, this should be phrased: "deny" rules for the
    first level access check

  - requires a gitolite option to be set, like so:

        config gitolite-options.deny-repo = 1

Sitaram Chamarty a07e0d6b5c tighten up ref/file names (warning: possible backward compat breakage)
The backward compat breakage is for people who already have all kinds of
arbitrary characters in filenames *and* use `NAME/` rules.  See the doc
change in this commit for details and mitigation.  See this link for
background:

    http://groups.google.com/group/gitolite/browse_thread/thread/8dc5242052b16d0f

Thanks to Dan Carpenter for the audit.

Sitaram Chamarty 35f402a140 (admin doc): redo section on moving pre-existing repos into gitolite
some separation between the 2 types so far, plus add a third section for
importing *wildcard* repos wholesale.  And finally add some explanations
for folks who want to know why.

Sitaram Chamarty 6efea9d7a3 (doc) admin-defined commands doc fixes:
- make the warning less juvenile ;-)
  - de-emphasise the connection to wild repos; it's not as deep as the
    doc made it out to be
  - move the historical stuff out of the way

Sitaram Chamarty ddf4330d1e quick install in main README
requested by someone who told me it's high time I catered to the experts
too, and saved them some time on the install!

I took the opportunity to streamline the README (especially the "what"
section), and to prioritise the non-root method over the root method in
the install doc.

Sitaram Chamarty 0ec3d77761 delegation: allow includes in fragments, fixup doc
I could not think why we disallowed includes in subconfs, since an
include is the same as inserting all those lines inline anyway.

Sitaram Chamarty 442d7ca29c mirroring doc updates:
- caution about wild repos needing to be manually created on the
    receiving side (because nothing gets auto-created now)

  - caution about the right and wrong way to "delete" a config variable

  - a few other minor fixes
2011-08-17 11:59:00 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty b11d44e036 (mirroring) make cron jobs easier to write
gl-mirror-shell will now take a list of slaves and/or keys, expanding
the keys in place.  See doc for even more improvements and conveniences.

Sitaram Chamarty e3b1fdfd69 (mirroring doc) explain how this is more than just 'backup' 2011-08-14 08:20:03 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty a3ffc9d8fd (mirroring) reject non-local pushes if GL_HOSTNAME not set
We previously said all mirroring features are disabled if GL_HOSTNAME is
not set.

But what if, after mirroring has been setup, and master/slaves defined
for a repo, a slave admin fat-fingers the RC file and accidentally
comments out GL_HOSTNAME?  We might end up violating RULE NUMBER ONE!

Sitaram Chamarty 817c1835ae (docfix) you need RW+ to overwrite a tag
to my eternal shame (considering how proud I am of my documentation)
this was not mentioned anywhere!  I'm getting old...

thanks to Pierre Habouzit for catching this

(also slipped in a few other minor doc changes.  I wouldn't mix
unrelated stuff in a commit when doing code changes but it seems ok to
do this for docfixes, for some reason).

Sitaram Chamarty 973157d777 (doc) "authentication-vs-authorisation"

Sitaram Chamarty b706719a56 (here's more proof that writing code is easier...)
streamline the README and the install doc a fair bit, especially make
'from-client' install deprecated, and relegate it to an Appendix.
