The instructions were written before gl-admin-push was created, I guess,
making things sound a lot more complicated than they should be.
Thanks to Nick (see gitolite mailing list messages, subject line
"replicating a gitolite installation") for helping me realise this
needed fixing.
Thanks to Kacper Kornet for catching this...
(by the way, there's a simple workaround if you are affected by this but
can't upgrade to this commit or later: just create an empty
$PROJECTS_LIST file, which is by default ~/projects.list)
(can_* == can_read, can_write, and can_create)
See top of contrib/adc/adc.common-functions for more on this.
Note: the old style (calling get_rights_and_owner with $repo, then
checking $perm_read, $perm_write, etc.), will still work fine.
I got tired of being told "TL;DR". Now the online versions of most
documents fit on a page or two, or at least most of them do. The rest
has been split out (and you can see the links to the split out sections
right where the text is in the raw Markdown).
This is much more pleasant to read, and I've improved the linking so
it's much less effort for me to keep the links correct.
Normally, I use the word "user" in gitolite to mean *my* users, who are
actually admins on their setups. All my documentation has been geared
to that class of person.
Last night my most famous "user" (not "admin", a real gitolite user)
mentioned that he found it very hard to find info on what a *user* could
do, and he was right. So here goes...
- 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.
- 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
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:

Thanks to Dan Carpenter for the audit.
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.
- 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
major changes
- (src) one error message got more detail
- long overdue fixup to developer notes doc
plus many minor changes that have been piling up
PS: to dig into the "alliterative animal" comment, check the channel
logs around aug 23rd ;-)
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.
