'gitolite query-rc' now only queries one variable at a time. That is,
you cannot do something like this:
gitolite query-rc UMASK GL_ADMIN_BASE
to query both variables. I think this is rarely used, plus it is easy
to work-around (just run two separate commands), so it was sacrificed
for the ability to do this:
gitolite query-rc -q COMMANDS fork
which tells you whether $rc{COMMANDS}{fork} exists or not.
If a user has multiple keys, ssh-authkeys-shell-users will only add the
"-s" flag to the first key it finds. Change the substitution to apply
to all matching lines and hence grant shell access to all of the user's
keys.

- fix docs to explicitly state that mirroring wild repos is a bad idea
if the authentication data is not the same on the peers.
- an important check against a malicious peer was missed out. If
people heed the warning above this check is not really needed but it
is good for completeness.
- warning about redirected pushes removed, thanks to Ronald Ip having
tested it and reported it working.
It creates the repo on the remote side (getting the creator name from
the gl-creator file and sending it across), as well as sending gl-perms
on subsequent connections.
This has only been minimally tested. E.g., complex setups or asymmetric
configs on master and slave, etc. have NOT been tested.
This has also not been tested with redirected pushes.
repo foo
desc = "foo"
RW = u1
...etc...
The order of the clauses was parsing this like the old 'reponame = "some
description"' and end up creating a repo called 'desc'!
It would also, as a side-effect, change the repo so what you thought
were access rules for 'foo' would become access rules for 'desc'.
Although this is not a "hole" that allows a normal user to bypass
controls, I still consider this a hole in the sense that I want to
separate "admin push" rights from "shell access on server" rights.
(I realise that most people don't make this distinction, but I do, and
for me and most sites I consult for it is important).
Thanks to drue on #gitolite who pointed it out excitedly, and apologies
for killing what he thought of as a feature!
(manually smoke tested; no test script)
I've been meaning to do this for a while, since someone told me that is
one of gerrit's features they like.
Of course, gitolite can't/won't do the whole "code review" thing (nor
the workflow enforcement that follows).
But voting is simple -- literally 2-3 lines of code in a VREF. (The
rest is inline documentation).
...so there's no need for the VREF.
Ironically, while I was arguing with Eli that I wouldn't do it and why,
the code was *already* there, and had been for over a month! (It must
have been there for much longer for me to have forgotten!)
TODO: convert from using fingerprint compute to actual key strings when
the complaints about speed start appearing.
My own personal speed up loop [1] I guess :)

(but change repo check to allow repoPATT instead of just repoNAME)
This is because there are/will be some situations where access() is
called without those two checks being done (i.e., it is not only from
src/commands/access that it is called).
(1) the backward compat breakage: you can't create empty-valued config
keys anymore. That is, you can't do the eqvt of the following shell
command using gitolite
git config foo.bar ""
(2) fixed a bug where this:
repo foo
config foo.bar =
when queried using
gitolite git-config -r foo .
would return even the empty valued ones, which -- remember! -- are
not supposed to exist anymore.
Fixing this bug allows situations like this to not show the admin
repo in gitweb:
repo [a-z].*
config gitweb.owner = P-h B
repo gitolite-admin
config gitweb.owner =
----
background...
Somewhere in g3 (well actually in 057506b), we lost the ability to
distinguish
config foo.bar = ""
from
config foo.bar =
I decided that conflating them is more intuitive for most people,
because a survey [1] revealed that no one seemed to want the equivalent
of the following shell command:
----
[1] ...of a (small prime greater than 1) number of people on #git
when running under httpd, $ENV{USER} is not set, so we use a (hopefully
informative) default to print.
Thanks to Thomas Hager (duke at sigsegv dot at) for catching this.
