Sitaram Chamarty db0485fa7e new method for passing usergroup info (warning: minor backward compat breakage)
The old method of passing in usergroup info had some problems, which are
now fixed.  It is also much easier to use now -- no more "wrapper"
script, plus it should work identially whether you use sshd or httpd.

See doc/big-config.mkd for details on the new method.

----

Notes on problems with the old method:

The old method for passing in usergroup info consisted of tacking them
on as extra arguments to gl-auth-command, after the username.

However, there are some problems with this method.

Some actions in gitolite look for permissions for users other than the
invoking user.  Determining permissions for gitweb and daemon is one.
An admin asking for "info" on some other user, is another.

However, the list of groups sent in via the command line
pertains only to the invoking user, so these actions don't work
correctly.  They may even pick up the wrong permissions.

What it all boils down to is that we need group information for any user
dynamically, instead of being passed a (static) list just for the
invoking user.

# ALLOW REPO ADMIN TO SET GITCONFIG KEYS
#
# 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.
#
# You have 3 choices. By default $GL_GITCONFIG_KEYS is left empty, which
# completely disables this feature (meaning you cannot set git configs from
# the repo config).
$GL_GITCONFIG_KEYS = "";
# The second choice is to give it a space separated list of settings you
# consider safe. (These are actually treated as a set of regular expression
# patterns, and any one of them must match). For example:
# $GL_GITCONFIG_KEYS = "core\.logAllRefUpdates core\..*compression";
# allows repo admins to set one of those 3 config keys (yes, that second
# pattern matches two settings from "man git-config", if you look)
#
# The third choice (which you may have guessed already if you're familiar with
# regular expressions) is to allow anything and everything:
# $GL_GITCONFIG_KEYS = ".*";
# NOTE that due to some quoting and interpolation issues I have not been able
# to look at, a literal "." needs to be specified in this string as \\. (two
# backslashes and a dot). So this is how you'd allow any keys in the "foo"
# category:
# $GL_GITCONFIG_KEYS = "foo\\..*";
# --------------------------------------
# ALLOW GITCONFIG KEYS EVEN FOR WILD REPOS
#
# This is an efficiency issue more than a security issue, since this requires
# trawling through all of $REPO_BASE looking for stuff :)
# $GL_GITCONFIG_WILD = 0;

# EXTERNAL COMMAND HELPER -- HTPASSWD

$HTPASSWD_FILE = "";
# Look in doc/3 ("easier to link gitweb authorisation with gitolite" section)

# EXTERNAL COMMAND HELPER -- RSYNC
# security note: runs an external command (rsync) with specific arguments, all
# presumably filled in correctly by the client-side rsync.

# This setting allows launching svnserve when requested by the ssh client.

# ALLOW REPO CONFIG TO USE WILDCARDS
# security note: this used to in a separate "wildrepos" branch. You can
# create repositories based on wild cards, give "ownership" to the specific
# user who created it, allow him/her to hand out R and RW permissions to other
# users to collaborate, etc. This is powerful stuff, and I've made it as
# secure as I can, but it hasn't had the kind of rigorous line-by-line
# analysis that the old "master" branch had.
# This has now been rolled into master, with all the functionality gated by
# this variable. Set this to 1 if you want to enable the wildrepos features.

# used here but is special; no other groups can be used in user-level permissions.

# HOOK CHAINING

# to do anything here. However, if you want to use different names or paths,
