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...

Sitaram Chamarty 10a30c961d (major change in big-config mode) split the compiled config file
Fedora's config has over 11,000 repositories and the compiled config
file is over 20 MB in size.  Although negligible on a server class
machine, on my laptop just parsing this file takes a good 2.5 seconds.

Even if you use GL_ALL_READ_ALL (see a couple of commits before this
one) to remove the overhead for 'read's, that's still a pretty big
overhead for writes.  And GL_ALL_READ_ALL is not really a solution for
most people anyway.

With this commit, using GL_BIG_CONFIG adds another optimisation; see
doc/big-config.mkd for details (look for the word "split config" to find
the section that talks about it).

----

Implementation notes:

  - the check for GL_NO_CREATE_REPOS has moved *into* the loop (which it
    completely bypassed earlier) so that write_1_compiled_conf can be
    called on each item

Sitaram Chamarty ad727488fc (install doc) various updates
(thanks to a somewhat heated "discussion" with "abstrakt" on #git)

While I don't agree with everything he said, some improvements are
always possible (always, always!) in docs:

  - move the "conventions used" section closer to the action
  - add note about RPM/DEB using "gitolite" as the user, not "git"
  - de-emphasise multiple gitolite hosting users at the top; refer
    advanced users to the already present detailed section later instead
  - in that section, add a bit of intro, and hand-wave the inconsistency
    between its 2 sub-sections ;-)

----

Unrelated to the "discussion" today, someone else (running Arch? don't
remember) had a system where /usr/local/bin was not in $PATH for a
normal user, so I added a note about that.

Sitaram Chamarty 047790140a custom perm categories in setperms (WARNING: PLEASE READ FULL COMMIT MESSAGE)
THE COMPILED CONFIG FILE FORMAT CHANGES WITH THIS VERSION.  PLEASE DO
NOT MIX VERSIONS OR DOWNGRADE.  Upgrading using normal gitolite upgrade
means should be fine, though.

Originally, we only allowed "R" and "RW" as categories of users supplied
to the `setperms` command.  These map respectively to "READERS" and
"WRITERS" in the access rules.

Now:

  - we prefer READERS instead of R and WRITERS instead of RW
  - we allow the admin to define other categories as she wishes
    (example: MANAGERS, TESTERS, etc).  These do not have abbreviations,
    however, so they must be supplied in full.

PLEASE, *PLEASE*, read the section in doc/wildcard-repositories.mkd for
more info.  This is a VERY powerful feature and if you're not careful
you could mess up the ACLs nicely.

Backward compat note: you can continue to use the "R" and "RW"
categories when running the "setperms" command, and gitolite will
internally convert them to READERS and WRITERS categories.

----

implementation notes:

  - new RC var called GL_WILDREPOS_PERM_CATS that is a space-sep list of
    the allowed categories in a gl-perms file; defaults to "R RW" if not
    specified

  - wild_repo_rights no longer returns $c, $r, $wC, where $r = $user if
    "R $user", $r = '@all' if "R @all", and similarly with $w and "RW".

    Instead it returns $c and a new hash that effectively gives the same
    info, but expanded to include any other valid categories (listed in
    GL_WILDREPOS_PERM_CATS)

  - consequently, the arguments that parse_acl takes also change the
    same way

  - (side note: R and RW are quietly converted to READERS and WRITERS;
    however, new categories that you define yourself do not have
    abbreviations)

  - setperms validates perms to make sure only allowed categories are
    used; however even if someone changed them behind the scenes,
    wild_repo_rights will also check.  This is necessary in case the
    admin tightened up GL_WILDREPOS_PERM_CATS after someone had already
    setperms-d his repos.

  - as a bonus, we eliminate all the post-Dumper shenanigans, at least
    for READERS and WRITERS.  Those two now look, to the compile script,
    just like any other usernames.

Well from now on they will be called "YourName".

Even better quote from essial on #git (after literally typing in
"sitaram.pub" instead of substituting his name as the instructions [in

[Although, since you apparently are quite happy to use a system that
default installs mono I doubt these little jibes matter to you
anyway...]

to every gitolite install that is not behind a firewall, anywhere in the
world.  No one will notice or realise what I'm doing - MUAHAHAHAHA!!!]

  - new "help" adc with some default text but main purpose is to allow

  - other adc's refer to 'help' adc when appropriate
  - 'undelete' renamed to 'restore'; that's what the KDE "trashcan"
    program calls that operation

Sitaram Chamarty 10289c6d64 warning against server-side fiddling (<sigh>)
I had someone delete the admin repo on the server, then run gl-setup
again, and complain that included config files did not get restored.

There have been others (see below) before with similar demands, but
those at least had the excuse of being provoked by genuine mistakes.
This guy was intentionally breaking stuff server side.

Wish I could say he was stupid, but actually he was probably smarter
than I.  Just that his idea of the limits of gitolite's responsibility
was vastly different from mine.

----

[1] There was this guy who, as root, went on a "chmod go-rwx" spree for
security, which bollixed up gitweb access to all his repos, so he tells
me gitolite should be able to fix all the permissions on the next admin
push at least?  (That is, instead of just setting umask as it currently
does, it should go on a chmod spree just like he did).

[2] Then there was the guy who told me gitolite should re-create all the
"gl-creater" files for his wildcard repos because he was restoring from
a git push --mirror backup and that doesn't preserve those files?  I
tried to tell him that a git push --mirror doesn't preserve "config" or
"description" or "info/exclude" or any of the other files that git (not
gitolite) maintains, but he didn't care -- losing those did not affect
him (or he never had them), but losing these affected access control,
and it's my fault.

Sitaram Chamarty db0485fa7e new method for passing usergroup info (warning: minor backward compat breakage)
The old method of passing in usergroup info had some problems, which are
now fixed.  It is also much easier to use now -- no more "wrapper"
script, plus it should work identially whether you use sshd or httpd.

See doc/big-config.mkd for details on the new method.

----

Notes on problems with the old method:

The old method for passing in usergroup info consisted of tacking them
on as extra arguments to gl-auth-command, after the username.

However, there are some problems with this method.

Some actions in gitolite look for permissions for users other than the
invoking user.  Determining permissions for gitweb and daemon is one.
An admin asking for "info" on some other user, is another.

However, the list of groups sent in via the command line
pertains only to the invoking user, so these actions don't work
correctly.  They may even pick up the wrong permissions.

What it all boils down to is that we need group information for any user
dynamically, instead of being passed a (static) list just for the
invoking user.

Sitaram Chamarty f0c280cd38 allow "info" to have some chance of working on big-config setups!
Fedora, till now, had no hope in hell of running the info command.  Why?
Because the output of the info command is semantically the same as the
output of the compile script *before* the big-config mode was created.

And we all know how _that_ went ;-)

So now you get to give "info" a partial reponame or a pattern, just like
in the case of "expand".  And if you're under GL_BIG_CONFIG this pattern
is mandatory.  And if you try to cheat it'll still stop after showing 5
entries to prevent (accidental?) DOSs

Anyway, see doc changes in this commit for more details.

Sitaram Chamarty 1488973412 (doc) INSTALL doc needs info on URLs
More and more people are using one of the first 3 methods of install
(the ones that don't involve running "src/gl-easy-install" from the
client side) usualy due to RPM/DEB being available now.

Previously, the ending message on running that command was serving this
purpose, and so it never really got written down in so many words.

[thanks to antgel for catching this]

while we were there, we removed a now-obsolete section that talks about
how to use just one key; there are better methods now

This is what I *should* have done back then; thanks to Jeff Mitchell for
pointing out a problem with the old method.

The old one is *definitely* a kludge.  <shamefaced grin>

Sitaram Chamarty 0f5f82e4f5 log message changes (warning: minor backward compat breakage)
The log message format has changed.  All log messages now have a common
prefix (timestamp, user, IP).  This is followed by $SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND
(or, in one special case, the name of the user's login shell).  Any
further text appears after this (currently this only happens in the case
of a successful push -- one for each ref pushed successfully)

Sitaram Chamarty 6d32e4e920 now you can disallow creation of new refs if you like
see doc/3 for details (look for "separating delete and rewind rights"

----

and for gerrit, this is one more thing it can do that we can too ;-)

[the original text was somewhat misleading.  We mean "prevent someone
from creating a branch that they have permissions to push".  That is
what is now possible, where it was not possible before.]

Sitaram Chamarty 196b41e0fd *major* doc revamp
people will NOT read documentation, especially the bloody install
documentation.  I'm about ready to throw in the towel and declare
gitolite unsupported, take-it-or-leave-it.

But I'm making one last attempt to refocus the install doc to better
suit the "I know I'm very smart and I dont have to read docs so it's
clearly your fault that I am not able to install gitolite" crowd.

As a bonus, though, I ended up making proper, hyper-linked, TOCs for
most of the docs, and moved a whole bunch of stuff around.  Also finally
got some of the ssh stuff over from my git-notes repo because it really
belongs here.
