Sitaram Chamarty f77d0d2cf1 (test suite) t/install also serves as a quick way to "play install" gitolite
(t/install-gitolite has been renamed to t/install)

Sitaram Chamarty 5e3a051a95 "deny" rules for entire repo
- strictly speaking, this should be phrased: "deny" rules for the
    first level access check

  - requires a gitolite option to be set, like so:

        config gitolite-options.deny-repo = 1

Sitaram Chamarty 77f0b2da0e the rarely-useful "@all users can access @all repos" thing... 2011-10-07 13:53:10 +05:30
Svend Sorensen 696bffe605 Use sed instead of bashism (pattern substitution) in gl-mirror-push
gl-mirror-push fails with dash as /bin/sh due to the use of bash pattern
substition (${parameter/pattern/string}). Use sed instead.

Sitaram Chamarty eabbffb564 mirroring log entries need the *date* also in the timestamp!
(Not sure how I missed this earlier, but if you can't upgrade yet, a
mitigation is to note the job number that gets printed on your terminal
when a mirror push starts, and look a log file entries beginning with
that number.)

  - setup_web_access (write a plain list of repos out)
  - add_del_web_access (add/delete a single repo from projects.list)

change some obvious bashisms.  There may be more, however, so if you
find them, let me know.

Sitaram Chamarty a07e0d6b5c tighten up ref/file names (warning: possible backward compat breakage)
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:

    http://groups.google.com/group/gitolite/browse_thread/thread/8dc5242052b16d0f

Thanks to Dan Carpenter for the audit.

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
2011-09-28 04:12:36 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 35f402a140 (admin doc): redo section on moving pre-existing repos into gitolite
some separation between the 2 types so far, plus add a third section for
importing *wildcard* repos wholesale.  And finally add some explanations
for folks who want to know why.

Sitaram Chamarty a2fd597c51 'symbolic-ref' ADC replaces and obsoletes 'set-head'
set-head was too specific.  See comments in symbolic-ref for more on
this ADC, but basically it lets you run 'git symbolic-ref' on a repo
that you have write access to.

Sitaram Chamarty 6efea9d7a3 (doc) admin-defined commands doc fixes:
- make the warning less juvenile ;-)
  - de-emphasise the connection to wild repos; it's not as deep as the
    doc made it out to be
  - move the historical stuff out of the way

idea credit Jeff (though I'm sure he didn't ask this on behalf of the
KDE folks ;-)

Sitaram Chamarty 32417b5b39 (password access) make the hostkey thing less of a problem...
...for the code, not for the admin ;-)

OK that sounds nasty but really it's not that bad.  We're replacing some
code with a one-time step for the admin which is also likely to be more
future-proof.

Sitaram Chamarty c41fcc2653 added doc and helper for complex mirroring setups, to contrib 2011-09-02 22:41:27 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 10985cb534 repo_rights is no longer a kosher *public* interface

Behan Webster 330bed0dcf Rewrite of gl-conf-convert to support more complex gitosis.conf files
comments from contributor via email:

  * Translates all repos from gitosis to gitolite, even if their are not
    associated with any groups
  * Transfers gitweb settings (gitweb, description and owner)
  * Transfers git-dameon settings
  * Maintains comments for groups and repos

  As far as I can tell, the results from this filter are working fine
  for our transfer from gitosis to gitolite.

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

Sitaram Chamarty 6863dca73a retain old file's permissions in wrap_print()
wrap_print() was written to create a new file and rename the old one to
avoid a partially written file being read by other processes.  This has
only been reported for the 'projects.list' file, but I just did it for
all files as a matter of course.

list of files currently written via this function:
gl-creater, gl-perms, description, git-daemon-export-ok, projects.list

However, some people want to do the following:

  - set REPO_UMASK tight (0077, default)
  - manually change the perms to something looser (typically g+rX) for
    specific repos
  - set core.sharedRepository to 0750 (git is documented to honor that
    config if available and to override umask)

Except that core.sharedRepository does not apply to files written by
gitolite and not git itself.  So they would open up their description
files and the next compile would close them again!

This patch prevents this from happening.  If the file already exists, it
maintains the same permissions after the rename.

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.
2011-08-30 11:42:03 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty d01f6b1dbb config variables should not be restricted to double quoted strings
previously, these two would produce different results

    config aa.bb = 'true'   # config file line includes single quotes
    config aa.bb = "true"   # config file line does not include any quotes

Now the former will also behave like the latter.

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.

Sitaram Chamarty 056459aeda fix sequencing for repo config statements
Without this, complex mirroring scenarios will be unpredictable.  For
example (abbreviating "gitolite.mirror." to "gimo.") something as simple
as this will not give "foo" his different mirror setup

    repo @all
        config gimo.master = "frodo"
        config gimo.slaves = "sam"

    repo foo
        config gimo.master = "sam"
        config gimo.slaves = "frodo gollum"

    repo foo bar
        RW  =   u1

Even worse things happen when you have wild cards.

Now, however, they all come in the right sequence and the most recent
one takes effect (unlike ACL rules, where the first match wins, because
there you're trying to just find a match and get out, while here you're
just mindlessly applying config lines in the right order).

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
