I got tired of being told "TL;DR". Now the online versions of most
documents fit on a page or two, or at least most of them do. The rest
has been split out (and you can see the links to the split out sections
right where the text is in the raw Markdown).
This is much more pleasant to read, and I've improved the linking so
it's much less effort for me to keep the links correct.
The backward compat breakage is for people who already have all kinds of
arbitrary characters in filenames *and* use `NAME/` rules. See the doc
change in this commit for details and mitigation. See this link for
background:

Thanks to Dan Carpenter for the audit.
you might wonder why these are different from all the other variables in
the rc file... it's just that I never thought people would want to
change these!
- allow a mob username to be defined; all unauthenticated access will
look to gitolite like this user (if you setup apache also properly)
- update doc with more details (some repeat stuff from `man
git-http-backend` but it's probably worth having everything in one
place
