Sitaram Chamarty b7944ed4d1 (minor) do not purge projects.list if GL_NO_DAEMON_NO_GITWEB set
The code that sets %projlist doesn't even run if GL_NO_DAEMON_NO_GITWEB
is set, so it doesn't make sense to then *use* that (empty) variable and
effectively wipe out the projects.list file.

Thanks to m0 for asking...

Sitaram Chamarty bf7516b2c4 (minor test script fix) 2011-03-10 22:12:42 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 9ad7ea4e19 (minor) some changes to system(), ``, etc.
(suggested by cmyers and ryan_c on #gitolite)

Between wrap_print(), which now takes a list, and the new slurp(),
pretty much everything to do with 'cat' or 'echo' has been converted to
pure perl.

----

Personally, I consider these changes to be somewhat gratuitous, because
none of these had a security *or* a performance concern.  But since the
amount of new perl code was not too high (just the slurp() function,
really), I figure it's not a big deal to do it.

Sitaram Chamarty 91a8379f9f change some 'warn's to 'print STDERR' and vice versa
with warns now being logged, it's nice to make sure that anything that
could even vaguely be considered someone playing with the system, *or*
is otherwise noteworthy, be emitted as a 'warn' instead of as a 'print
STDERR'.  Similarly stuff that is clearly a syntactic warning or typo
should come from 'print STDERR', instead of from a 'warn'.

Sitaram Chamarty ca913af6cd for cool 'cat's who use 'putty' :-)
ryan-c on #gitolite (ryan.castellucci@gmail.com) found that if a user
types in
        ssh git@server `echo -e "\033[2J"`
or eqvt, he can get raw ASCII control characters into gitolite's log
file.  Then if a gitolite admin 'cat's the log file (instead of using a
pager, or uses a pager in raw mode like 'less -r'), those control
characters hit his screen and do stuff.

While clearing the screen etc is probably harmless and I would not have
bothered, we know that the old vt100 would allow the keyboard to be
remapped by the server sending control codes, and we're not really sure
which of the currently in use terminals emulate this.

And finally, I found somewhere that "PuTTY allows the server to send
control codes that let it take over the mouse".  Scary...

(...of course, I hate putty/plink so I was sorely tempted to leave this
as is to punish people who use it <grin> but not really; I'd joke about
it but won't actually *do* it!)

Sitaram Chamarty cec94a3664 (minor) who-pushed adc falls afoul of egrep incompat between Linux distros!
It seems even within Linux, not all "egrep"s are equal.  So we fall back
to the one true standard :-)

Sitaram Chamarty 9a49487d0a minor bug in data format fixup code
Earlier, it wasn't as critical for gl-setup to be run with the full
path; the BINDIR deduction used to happen in almost every program.  Now
it's a lot more important.

Apparently I never noticed that "/bin/bash -l gl-setup" does not set $0
to the correct, fq path.  Adding a "-c" does, however...

[thanks to Jeff from the KDE team for finding this]

This shaves 3 seconds off of KDE's config compile time :-)

Yes, I know wrap_print has that extra print statement, but otherwise it
was lying around not earning its keep so I gave it a little side job :-)

change these!

Sitaram Chamarty 948f700c7a supercool new admin-defined command "git" (disabled by default)
This new adc allows you to run arbitrary git commands on the server.

It is disabled by default, and you have to READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS **AND**
SOURCE CODE BEFORE DEPLOYING.

Sitaram Chamarty 1c1ae6061d "git config foo.bar = 0" was not working; fixed
(because perl treats 0 as false and I'd not accounted for that)

Sitaram Chamarty df157e72b5 <sigh> gitweb doc fixes
This patch is dedicated to the person who, when referred to [1] for
gitweb access help, assumed we're talking about a Unix userid called
"gitweb" and said it still doesn't work.  He looked at the description
examples and wasn't sure what to do with them.  Finally, he missed the
sentence "All gitolite does is:" in the document, and assumed *he* was
supposed to do what the next 3 bullets said (in this case, create the
"description" file manually).

He didn't once think of the gitolite.conf file as being the location for
these instructions, or that "give read access" means "R = ..." instead
of a Unix level "chmod ...".

Do things have to be spelled out so goddamn clearly?  Can't people think
for a few seconds and see if there is another way before giving up?

I blame the prevalence of Windows and GUI IDEs.  People can only
"click".  They can't "think" anymore...

to use --quiet and will not lose any actual error messages :)

  - update doc with more details (some repeat stuff from `man
    git-http-backend` but it's probably worth having everything in one
    place
