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 6a3cd5d6b1 Merge pull request #32 from ebfe/bump_requirements
git >= 1.6.6 is required since 49f5361
2011-09-02 05:09:06 -07:00
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.

Sitaram Chamarty e5e95794ef (doc) hook chaining explained a bit better
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

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.
