Sitaram Chamarty 4c5bb27739 pre-existing repo instructions were WRONG...

  - but (at the cost of some efficiency) try to compensate if the admin

# gitolite administration
## #server server-side administration
The following activities require command line access to the server
* changing anything in the [rc][] file
* installing custom [hooks][], whether to all repos or just some repos
* moving [existing][] repos into gitolite control
Please read the [WARNINGS][] page first.
## #conf access control (the gitolite.conf file)
Most of gitolite's power is in the conf/gitolite.conf file, which specifies
detailed access control for repos.
### #confex example of a conf file
Here is an example of a simple conf/gitolite.conf file.
@staff = dilbert alice # line 1
@projects = foo bar # line 2
repo @projects baz # line 3
RW+ = @staff # line 4
- master = ashok # line 5
RW = ashok # line 6
R = wally # line 7
config hooks.emailprefix = '[%GL_REPO] ' # line 8
