Sitaram Chamarty 16cea9bf8c compile: move checking of reponame/repopatt/username out of expand_list
let expand_list be just that "expand a list", and leave checking to be
done outside.

otherwise, commit 690604d79 has the side effect of restricting refs to
$REPOPATT_PATT, and so for instance barfing on the perfectly valid

    RW+ refs/(?!heads/master) = alice bob

(thanks to Teemu for catching this)

Sitaram Chamarty 83a017f884 htpassword: disallow empty passwords
[TODO: allow a callback for a password checking function, such as
"passwd_policy_check".  Question is where the function would go.
~/.gitolite.rc is the only possible place among the current set of files
but I'd rather leave that as a list of simple name=value lines for all
sorts of reasons.  So maybe something like ~/.gitolite.pm (analogous to
the "gitolite.pm" in the sources I supply), which would get "require'd"
if found, and would contain all user-defined functions like this one...
needs some thinking about]

Sitaram Chamarty e674a7c64a (package maintainers read this) install doc updated
(about this commit)

    The install doc now describes both the ways of installing gitolite.
    It also has a handy appendix for package maintainers describing what
    they need to do.

(about the "dps" -- distro packaging support -- commit series)

    This commit is the last in the chain meant to make gitolite more
    friendly for package maintainers.

    Frankly, I never really thought gitolite would get big enough or
    important enough for someone to package it, and I always did just
    the bare minimum I needed to get it working, first for myself, then
    anyone who hopped onto #git and asked.  As a result, it had some
    quirks in terms of what is expected where and so on...

    Luckily, it didn't take a lot of changes to fix it, and this series
    of commits should help make it very easy to package gitolite for
    system-wide use.

Sitaram Chamarty 06d8ab4c18 make VERSION work in both types of setups
The old install method will now use conf/VERSION instead of src/VERSION everywhere.

The new one, if you use the builtin make file to "make branch.tar" will also create just such a file

Sitaram Chamarty 927b6bb1aa dps: make install aware of distro-based setup
gl-install copies
  - the initial rc file to ~/.gitolite.rc if it doesn't exist
  - src and hooks to GL_ADMINDIR

Make it aware of a package-based setup sequence, where the above two
change somewhat; see code diff.

This should be the last bit of change needed to prepare gitolite setup
so that a distro package maintainer does not have to fiddle too much
with code inside.

(What remains is docs, and a setup script for server-side use, to
replace the latter part of easy install)

Sitaram Chamarty 1f9fbfa71e get "info" for users other than yourself
if you have read access to the admin repo, you can say

    ssh git@server info user1 [...]

Original idea and code by Karteek E.  The motivation is to quickly and
easily check what perms a user has.  Technically nothing that you can't
glean from the config file itself but it serves as a double check or a
mild debugging aid perhaps.

However note that the branch level rules are much more complex and they
do not, as yet, have any such "helpful" aids.  Life is like that
sometimes.

Sitaram Chamarty a472bf30df compile: tighten up the 'git config' feature
Gitolite allows you to set git repo options using the "config" keyword;
see conf/example.conf for details and syntax.

However, if you are in an installation where the repo admin does not
(and should not) have shell access to the server, then allowing him to
set arbitrary repo config options *may* be a security risk -- some
config settings may allow executing arbitrary commands.

This patch fixes it, introducing a new RC variable to control the
behaviour.  See conf/example.gitolite.rc for details

Sitaram Chamarty b299ff09c3 rsync: restrict the "path" part of the received command
Although I have washed my hands off the security aspect if you use
external commands, that doesn't mean I won't make them as tight as I can
;-)  Right now, this is just a place holder -- if people use it and
complain that the pattern is too restrictive, I'll change it.

Sitaram Chamarty 388f4d873d (IMPORTANT; read this in full) no more "wildrepos"
The wildrepos branch has been merged into master, and deleted.  It will no
longer exist as a separate branch.  Instead, a new variable
called $GL_WILDREPOS has been added which acts as a switch; when
off (which is the default), many wildrepos features are disabled.
(the "C" permissions, and the getperms (etc.) commands mainly).

Important: if you are using wildrepos, please set "$GL_WILDREPOS = 1;" in
the RC file when you upgrade to this version (or just before you do the
upgrade).

Sitaram Chamarty 67c10a34fe auth: new subcommand "htpasswd"
great idea by Robin Smidsrød: since users are already capable of
authenticating themselves to gitolite via ssh keys, use that to let them
set or change their own HTTP passwords (ie, run the "htpasswd" command
with the correct parameters on behalf of the "git" user on the server)

code, rc para, and documentation.  In fact everything except... ahem...
testing ;-)

and while we're about it, we also reorganised the way these helper
commands (including the venerable "info" are called)

martin f. krafft 0a7fa6c6b5 Tell gitweb about repo owner via git-config
Gitolite uses projects.list to set the owners for gitweb's use.
Unfortunately, this does not work for gitweb setups that set
$projectroot to a directory, thus generating the list of
repositories on the fly.

This patch changes that: gitolite now writes the gitweb.owner
configuration variable for each repository (and properly cleans up after
itself if the owner is removed).

The patch causes gitolite not to write the owner to projects.list
anymore, as this would be redundant.

The owner also needs no longer be escaped, so this patch removes the
poor man's 's/ /+/g' escaping previously in place.

Note that I am not a Perl coder. Thus there are probably better ways to
implement this, but at least it works.

Sitaram Chamarty 98a4c79dce (read this in full) access control for non-git commands running over ssh
This is actually a pretty big deal, and I am seriously starting wonder
if calling this "gito*lite*" is justified anymore.

Anyway, in for a penny, in for a pound...

This patch implements a generic way to allow access control for external
commands, as long as they are invoked via ssh and present a server-side
command that contains enough information to make an access control
decision.

The first (and only, so far) such command implemented is rsync.

Please read the changes in this commit (at least the ones in conf/ and
doc/) carefully.
