#group group definitions

You can group repos or users for convenience. The syntax is the same for both and does not distinguish; until you use the group name it could really be either.

Here's an example:

@developers     =   dilbert alice wally

Group definitions accumulate; this is the same as the above:

@developers     =   dilbert
@developers     =   alice
@developers     =   wally

You can use one group in another group definition; the values will be expanded right there (meaning later additions will not appear in the second group).

@developers     =   dilbert alice
@interns        =   ashok
@staff          =   @interns @developers
@developers     =   wally

# wally is NOT part of @staff

special group @all

@all is a special group name that is often convenient to use if you really mean "all repos" or "all users".
