Sitaram Chamarty 49580fe4b3 doc split :(
Background

  * I needed to have the documentation under CC-BY-NC-SA (something
    happened to force me to choose)

  * Distros don't like the NC part.  They'd rather drop the
    documentation entirely instead

  * I don't like that; it bothers me that even a clueful guy won't be
    able to do a basic install with what comes in the package.

  * Meanwhile, I have always had the occasional "TL;DR" complaint about
    my docs

Taking all this into account, it seemed like the best way was:

  * Create a brand new README.txt that is crisp enough for someone to
    glance through and quickly get started.  At more then 300 lines, it
    covers enough ground that probably 60% of sites don't need more.

    Put this under the CC-BY-SA license, which is on the "good" list for
    Fedora (and also Debian, I am told).

  * Move the current documents to a new "gitolite-doc" repo that distros
    can simply ignore, but anyone who has trouble can go to.

    Make sure the online pages have the same content at the same URLs as
    they do now, getting it instead from this new repo.

    Link to the main URL in the new README.txt
