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 e3bc6e7c48 lotsa doca fixa uppa
major changes

  - 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 ;-)

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 7c8c5a899b add example setups to mirroring doc; also other fixups 2011-08-30 20:50:34 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty e139be927a new 'subconf' feature to explicitly do delegation
(includes HOSTNAME substitution feature also...)
2011-08-30 20:50:34 +05:30
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.

plus some reorg of the section so it reads easier (I hope!)

nagp-compatible ;-)

Sitaram Chamarty e970327cc1 rc: get rid of GL_GITCONFIG_WILD
was only for efficiency even when it was relevant, and now it's just in
the way, making useless noises.
2011-08-17 21:53:06 +05:30
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"
"gitolite-without-ssh" doc name was misleading; rename to
"authentication-vs-authorisation"

also restructure the whole thing to answer the main question better, and
fix up links from other places

Sitaram Chamarty a6a0db10e9 oopsies... should be checking for "-x" not just "-f or -l" to chain a hook
it was trying to execute a broken symlink!  (Thanks to Jeff of KDE for
catching this)

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.
