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)

Major changes to gitolite, master branch only, most recent first, no dates but
the tags can help you position stuff approximately
[NYD = not yet documented due to lack of time...]
- v1.5.3
- log file format changed; minor backward compat breakage if you've been
doing any automated log processing
- some small but important doc updates
- adc "fork" now much faster and more space-efficient (uses git clone -l)
- v1.5.2
- added test suite
- v1.5.1
- disallow creation of new refs if you want (while allowing push of the
same)
- adc "able" command added to contrib
- easy-install now takes a host-nickname parameter for convenience in
installing more than one gitolite server
- major doc revamp; contrib/autotoc added to make docs look nicer
- eliminate the need to run gl-setup on data version change, thus hopefully
obsoleting the upgrade note for v1.5 (just below).
- v1.5 -- IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTES below
Upgrading to v1.5 from any version prior to v1.5 requires an extra step
for people who installed gitolite using the "system install / user setup"
method described in doc/0-INSTALL.mkd. For such installations, after the
administrator has upgraded gitolite system-wide, each "gitolite host" user
must run `gl-setup` once (this time without any arguments).
- "deny" rules should now work even in "big-config" due to previous change
- proper rule sequencing (required major format change)
- allow usergroup info to be passed in from outside, say via LDAP; see
doc/big-config.mkd for details
- (new) big-config is now part of mainline (old one had bitrotted); see
doc/big-config.mkd for details
- gl-system-install: help people simulate an RPM/DEB install by just running
that commmand with appropriate arguments; see doc/0-INSTALL.mkd
- admin-defined commands; see doc/admin-defined-commands.mkd
- v1.4.2 (prep for major refactor on rights queries
- v1.4.1 (security fix)
- REFUSE TO RUN ON SERVER GIT < 1.6.2 (do NOT upgrade gitolite to or beyond
this point if you are unable to upgrade git itself to at least 1.6.2)
- "D" must be combined with RW or RW+ (warning: minor backward compat breakage)
- v1.4
- recurse through keydir for pubkeys
- bypass update hook if GL_BYPASS_UPDATE_HOOK is available in ENV
- new server-side program "gl-tool", subcommand "shell-add"
- new "D" permission (makes RW+ no longer imply "D" if used)
- @all for repos is now a true @all
- allow setperms to specify @all
- post-update hook and gl-setup should be dash compat now
- workaround for a Data::Dumper crash; see 412a691
- both hooks chain to "<hookname>.secondary" now
- new style personal branches (see 2456cc1 for advantages)
- v1.3
- easier to move repos into gitolite
- pattern for expand is no longer anchored
- v1.2
- distro packaging support -- easy to install systemwide now
- v1.1
- contrib directory added
- expand now lists non-wildcard repos also
- refs also have groups now

- PATH/ changed to NAME/

- use of @all for repos also (see doc for caveat)
- config entries for repos
- deny rules (no more "rebel" branch!)

- v0.85
- emergency addkey program
