Sitaram Chamarty 77f0b2da0e the rarely-useful "@all users can access @all repos" thing... 2011-10-07 13:53:10 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty a6a0db10e9 oopsies... should be checking for "-x" not just "-f or -l" to chain a hook
it was trying to execute a broken symlink!  (Thanks to Jeff of KDE for
catching this)

Sitaram Chamarty 0d1e05c7e1 "hooklets" -- play nice with any number of site-local 'update' hooks
(yes, I made up the name.  Deal with it!)

Sitaram Chamarty a10287a4cd update hook: bypass check needs to go into BEGIN block 2011-02-12 20:55:34 +05:30

Sitaram Chamarty 66b65e5e1d (doh!) make gitolite.pm easier for packagers
should have done this long ago...

Sitaram Chamarty da210f21bd log elapsed time
I'm an idiot.  I say I won't do it, then I go and do it anyway.

Fortunately, in this case, the code and execution remain exactly the
same for people who do not set $GL_PERFLOGT in the rc file, so it's
tolerable.

<evil grin> People who want even more than this can contact Greg Lonnon
(see the mailing list archives at
http://groups.google.com/group/gitolite for an obfuscated but easy to
guess email address) ;-)

Sitaram Chamarty a430cc57c7 separating "push" from "create"
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 78c8caa24c Revert "now you can disallow creation of new refs if you like"
This reverts commit 6d32e4e920.

see subsequent commits for why

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)
2010-06-16 17:22:37 +05:30
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 cf0e568c89 (big-config) the new "big-config" for large setups
If you have many thousands of repos and users, neatly organised into
groups, etc., the normal gitolite fails.  (It actually runs out of
memory very fast while doing the "compile" when you push the config, due
to the number of combinations of repo/user being stored in the hash!)

This commit series will stop doing that if you set $GL_BIG_CONFIG = 1 in
the rc file.

Some notes:

  - deny rules will still work but somewhat differently -- now they must
    be placed all together in one place to work like before.  Ask me for
    details if you need to know before I get done with the docs

  - I've tested most of the important features, but not every single
    nuance

  - the update hook may be a tad less efficient now; we can try and
    tweak it later if needed but it shouldn't really hurt anything
    significantly even now

  - docs have not been written yet

Sitaram Chamarty c4cbfabd4c spelling cluestick...
Ouch!  How mortifying :)  I'd always thought this was one of the Brit/US
differences, but to find out that it really *isn't* a word... hmph!

Anyway, in the interest of not breaking existing wild repos, the
ownership file is still called "gl-creater".  Everything else has been
changed.

(...thanks to Sverre)

Sitaram Chamarty 344fb0a2b7 allow user to define filenames that our hooks chain to
(although the defaults are still update.secondary and
post-update.secondary if you don't do anything)

Sitaram Chamarty 67607760e5 bypass update hook if GL_BYPASS_UPDATE_HOOK is available in ENV
people with shell access should be allowed to bypass the update hook, to
allow them to clone locally and push.  You can now do this by setting an
env var that the ssh "front door" will never set, like so:

    GL_BYPASS_UPDATE_HOOK=1 git push

Note that this will NOT work for the gitolite-admin repo, because the
post-update hook on that one requires a bit more.  If you really want to
do that, try:

    GL_ADMINDIR=~/.gitolite GL_BINDIR=~/.gitolite/src GL_BYPASS_UPDATE_HOOK=1 git push

(assuming default values in ~/.gitolite.rc)

Sitaram Chamarty 5aba13cd80 allow 'D' for @all repos
...so that the new semantics can be made system-default if someone wants
to do that

Sitaram Chamarty 967af2c993 compile/update: new "D" permission
normally, RW+ means permission to rewind or delete.

Now, if you use "D" permission anywhere in a repo config, that means
"delete" and RW+ then means only "rewind", no delete.

Sitaram Chamarty 7bfb3676b7 @all for repos is now much cleaner; a true @all...
- no need to put it at the end of the config file now, yeaaay!
  - @all for @all is meaningless and not supported.  People asking will
    be told to get a life or use git-daemon.
  - NAME/ limits for @all repos is ignored for efficiency reasons.

Sitaram Chamarty 33d6856f4b update: disallow old-style personal branches
The downside is that the repo config does need to be edited and new
style line(s) added.
2010-03-16 18:27:26 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 83884aa758 compile/update hook: enable new style personal branches
The new style personal branches work by interpreting the special
sequence /USER/ (including the slashes) in a refname.  Docs should be in
the next commit...

Sitaram Chamarty ed5c78349e update hook now allows chaining to "update.secondary"
the changes to cp/scp are because without "-p" they dont carry perms
across to existing files.  So if you forgot to chmod +x your custom
hook and ran easy install, then after that you have to go to the server
side to fix the perms...
