Sitaram Chamarty 550982f69e I forgot I still have Solaris users...
change some obvious bashisms.  There may be more, however, so if you
find them, let me know.

Sitaram Chamarty 2056c95917 from-client (gl-easy-install) is now obsolete 2011-09-29 07:31:43 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty a6668b90c3 (minor) error message clarity...
'should not happen' was appropriate before I added --dirty, but now it's
more likely to be due to an old git version

Sitaram Chamarty 49f5361799 (minor) don't ignore dirty-ness when generating version number 2011-07-29 14:12:56 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 660fad954a make gl-system-install easier to run
make the arguments optional (with documented defaults) plus they need
not exist a priori, reducing one command (the silly mkdir!) that the
user has to run.

All this is preparatory to deprecating the from-client method.  We've
even switched the test suite to 'non-root' method now

Sitaram Chamarty 805050a129 remove a few needless bashisms...
Note: "able" still needs bash but it's an easy fix if you need to use it
on a bash-challenged machine and care enough

Sitaram Chamarty b4c1627130 include VERSION details when using gl-system-install from a clone
It works fine when you're installing off of a tar file because the
Makefile also generates a VERSION file, but when doing from a clone you
still need to generate it.

(plus minor fix to easy install, in the same area of code)

Sitaram Chamarty ffccd0a4d3 gl-system-install -- system-wide install program
(as if we didn't already have enough programs with the word "install" in
their names!)

Anyway, this does what an RPM or a DEB would do -- basically implement
the instructions in Appendix C of doc/0.

You can use this to do a system-wide install if your distro isn't as
smart, forward-looking, and uptodate as Fedora ;-)

Clone the repo somewhere, cd to it, and run, for example:

    sudo src/gl-system-install /usr/local/bin /var/gitolite/conf /var/gitolite/hooks

or something like that.  See doc/0 for details.  Run without arguments
for help.
