Sitaram Chamarty a472bf30df compile: tighten up the 'git config' feature
Gitolite allows you to set git repo options using the "config" keyword;
see conf/example.conf for details and syntax.

However, if you are in an installation where the repo admin does not
(and should not) have shell access to the server, then allowing him to
set arbitrary repo config options *may* be a security risk -- some
config settings may allow executing arbitrary commands.

This patch fixes it, introducing a new RC variable to control the
behaviour.  See conf/example.gitolite.rc for details

# example conf file for gitolite
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# overall syntax:
# - everything is space-separated; no commas, semicolons, etc (except in
# the description string for gitweb)
# - comments in the normal shell-ish style; no surprises there
# - there are NO continuation lines of any kind
# - user/repo names as simple as possible; they must start with an
# alphanumeric, but after that they can also contain ".", "_", "-".
# - usernames can optionally be followed by an "@" and a domainname
# containing at least one "." (this allows you to use an email
# address as someone's username)
# - reponames can contain "/" characters (this allows you to
# put your repos in a tree-structure for convenience)
# objectives, over and above gitosis:
# - simpler syntax
# - easier gitweb/daemon control
# - specify who can push a branch/tag
# - specify who can rewind a branch/rewrite a tag
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# GROUPS
# ------
# syntax:
# @groupname = [one or more names]
# groups let you club (user or group) names together for convenience
# * a group is like a #define in C except that it can *accumulate* values
# * the config file is parsed in a single-pass, so later *additions* to a
# group name cannot affect earlier *uses* of it
# The following examples should illustrate all this:
# you can have a group of people...
@staff = sitaram some_dev another-dev
# ...or a group of repos
@oss_repos = gitolite linux git perl rakudo entrans vkc
# even sliced and diced differently
@admins = sitaram admin2
# notice that sitaram is in 2 groups (staff and admins)
# if you repeat a group name in another definition line, the
# new ones get added to the old ones (they accumulate)
@staff = au.thor
# so now "@staff" expands to all 4 names
# groups can include other groups, and the included group will
# be expanded to whatever value it currently has
@interns = indy james
@staff = bob @interns
# "@staff" expands to 7 names now
@interns = han
# "@interns" now has 3 names in it, but note that this does
# not change @staff
# WILDCARD REPOSITORIES ("wildrepos" BRANCH ONLY)
# -----------------------------------------
# Please see doc/4-wildcard-repositories.mkd for details
# REPO AND BRANCH PERMISSIONS
# ---------------------------
# syntax:
# start line:
# repo [one or more repos and/or repo groups]
# followed by one or more permissions lines:
# (R|RW|RW+) [zero or more refexes] = [one or more users]
# there are 3 types of permissions: R, RW, and RW+. The "+" means permission
# to "rewind" (force push a non-fast forward to) a branch
# how permissions are matched:
# - user, repo, and access (W or +) are known. For that combination, if
# any of the refexes match the refname being updated, the push succeeds.
# If none of them match, it fails
# what's a refex? a regex to match against the ref being updated (get it?)
# BASIC PERMISSIONS (repo level only; apply to all branches/tags in repo)
# most important rule of all -- specify who can make changes
# to *this* file take effect
repo gitolite-admin
RW+ = @admins
# "@all" is a special, predefined, group name of all users
# (everyone who has a pubkey in keydir)
repo testing
RW+ = @all
# this repo is visible to staff but only sitaram can write to it
repo gitolite
R = @staff
RW+ = sitaram
# you can split up access rules for a repo as convenient
# (notice that @oss_repos contains gitolite also)
repo @oss_repos
R = @all
# set permissions to all already defined repos
# (a repository is defined if it has permission rules
# associated, empty "repo" stanza or "@group=..." line is
# not enough). *Please* do see doc/3-faq-tips-etc.mkd for
# some important notes on this feature
repo @all
RW+ = @admins
# ADVANCED PERMISSIONS USING REFEXES
# - refexes are specified in perl regex syntax
# - refexes are matched without any anchoring, which means a refex like
# "refs/tags/v[0-9]" matches anything *containing* that pattern. There
# may be text before and after it (example: refs/tags/v4-r3p7), and it
# will still match
# - if no refex appears, the rule applies to all refs in that repo
# - a refex is automatically prefixed by "refs/heads/" if it doesn't start
# with "refs/" (so tags have to be explicitly named as
# refs/tags/pattern)
# here's the example from
# Documentation/howto/update-hook-example.txt:
# refs/heads/master junio
# +refs/heads/pu junio
# refs/heads/cogito$ pasky
# refs/heads/bw/.* linus
# refs/heads/tmp/.* .*
# refs/tags/v[0-9].* junio
# and here're the equivalent gitolite refexes
repo git
RW master = junio
RW+ pu = junio
RW cogito$ = pasky
RW bw/ = linus
RW tmp/ = @all
RW refs/tags/v[0-9] = junio
# DENY/EXCLUDE RULES
# ***IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT "DENY" RULES***:
# - deny rules do NOT affect read access. They only apply to `W` and `+`.
#
# - when using deny rules, the order of your rules starts to matter, where
# earlier it did not. The first matching rule applies, where "matching" is
# defined as either permitting the operation you're attempting (`W` or `+`),
# which results in success, or a "deny" (`-`), which results in failure.
# (As before, a fallthrough also results in failure).
#
# - do not use `@all` when your config has any deny rules; it won't work as
# you probably expect it to!
# in the example above, you cannot easily say "anyone can write any tag,
# except version tags can only be written by junio". The following might look
# like it works but it doesn't:
# RW refs/tags/v[0-9] = junio
# RW refs/tags/ = junio linus pasky @others
# if you use "deny" rules, however, you can do this (a "deny" rule just uses
# "-" instead of "R" or "RW" or "RW+" in the permission field)
RW refs/tags/v[0-9] = junio
- refs/tags/v[0-9] = linus pasky @others
RW refs/tags/ = junio linus pasky @others
# FILE/DIR NAME BASED RESTRICTIONS
# --------------------------------
# Here's a hopefully self-explanatory example. Assume the project has the
# following contents at the top level: a README, a "doc/" directory, and an
# "src/" directory.
repo foo
RW+ = lead_dev # rule 1
RW = dev1 dev2 dev3 dev4 # rule 2
RW NAME/ = lead_dev # rule 3
RW NAME/doc/ = dev1 dev2 # rule 4
RW NAME/src/ = dev1 dev2 dev3 dev4 # rule 5
# Notes
# - the "NAME/" is part of the syntax; think of it as a keyword if you like
# - file/dir NAME-based restrictions are *in addition* to normal (branch-name
# based) restrictions; they are not a *replacement* for them. This is why
# rule #2 (or something like it, maybe with a more specific branch-name) is
# needed; without it, dev1/2/3/4 cannot push any branches.
# - if a repo has *any* NAME/ rules, then NAME-based restrictions are checked
# for *all* users. This is why rule 3 is needed, even though we don't
# actually have any NAME-based restrictions on lead_dev. Notice the pattern
# on rule 3.
# - *each* file touched by the commits being pushed is checked against those
# rules. So, lead_dev can push changes to any files, dev1/2 can push
# changes to files in "doc/" and "src/" (but not the top level README), and
# dev3/4 can only push changes to files in "src/".
# GITWEB AND DAEMON STUFF
# -----------------------
# No specific syntax for gitweb and daemon access; just make the repo readable
# ("R" access) to the special users "gitweb" and "daemon"
# make "@oss_repos" (all 7 of them!) accessible via git daemon
repo @oss_repos
R = daemon
# make the two *large* repos accessible via gitweb
repo linux perl
R = gitweb
# REPO OWNER/DESCRIPTION LINE FOR GITWEB
# syntax, one of:
# reponame = "some description string in double quotes"
# reponame "owner name" = "some description string in double quotes"
# note: setting a description also gives gitweb access; you do not have to
# give gitweb access as described above if you're specifying a description
gitolite "Sitaram Chamarty" = "fast, secure, access control for git in a corporate environment"
# REPO SPECIFIC GITCONFIG
# -----------------------
# update 2010-02-06; this won't work unless the rc file has the right
# settings; please see comments around the variable $GL_GITCONFIG_KEYS in
# conf/example.gitolite.rc for details and security information.
# (Thanks to teemu dot matilainen at iki dot fi)
# this should be specified within a "repo" stanza
# syntax:
# config sectionname.keyname = [optional value_string]
# example usage: if you placed a hook in src/hooks that requires configuration
# information that is specific to each repo, you could do this:
repo gitolite
config hooks.mailinglist = gitolite-commits@example.tld
config hooks.emailprefix = "[gitolite] "
config foo.bar = ""
config foo.baz =
# This does either a plain "git config section.key value" (for the first 3
# examples above) or "git config --unset-all section.key" (for the last
# example). Other forms (--add, the value_regex, etc) are not supported.
# INCLUDE SOME OTHER FILE
# -----------------------
include "foo.conf"
# this includes the contents of $GL_ADMINDIR/conf/foo.conf here
# Notes:
# - the include statement is not allowed inside delegated fragments for
# security reasons.
# - you can also use an absolute path if you like, although in the interests
# of cloning the admin-repo sanely you should avoid doing this!
# EXTERNAL COMMAND HELPERS -- RSYNC
# ---------------------------------
# If $RSYNC_BASE is non-empty, the following config entries come into play
# (otherwise they are ignored):
# a "fake" git repository to collect rsync rules. Gitolite does not
# auto-create any repo whose name starts with EXTCMD/
repo EXTCMD/rsync
# grant permissions to files/dirs within the $RSYNC_BASE tree. A leading
# NAME/ is required as a prefix; the actual path starts after that. Matching
# follows the same rules as elsewhere in gitolite.
RW NAME/ = sitaram
RW NAME/foo/ = user1
R NAME/bar/ = user2
# just to remind you that these are perl regexes, not shell globs
RW NAME/baz/.*/*.c = user3
