Sitaram Chamarty 604669ca02 rebel edition -- cos when you need it, you need it bad :-)
Summary: much as I did not want to use "excludes", I guess if we don't put the
code in "master" it's OK to at least *write* (and test) the code!

See the example config file for how to use it.

See "design choices" section in the "faq, tips, etc" document for how it
works.

# 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
# (usernames: only alphanumerics, ".", "_", "-";
# reponames: same, plus "/", but not at the start)
# 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
# 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
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
# ADVANCED PERMISSIONS USING REFEXES
# - refexes are specified in perl regex syntax
# - 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
# REBEL BRANCH -- DENY/EXCLUDE RULES
# please see the "faq, tips, etc" document for details on the "rebel" edition.
# 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
# in the "rebel" branch, however, you can do this:
RW refs/tags/v[0-9] = junio
- refs/tags/v[0-9] = linus pasky @others
RW refs/tags/ = junio linus pasky @others
# Briefly, the rule is: the first matching refex that has the operation you're
# looking for (`W` or `+`), or a minus (`-`), results in success, or failure,
# respectively. A fallthrough also results in failure
# 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"
