Sitaram Chamarty 70d26d810b compile, all docs/confs: specify gitweb/daemon access + bonus
bonus: documented the "bits and pieces" thing properly; should have done this
long ago, but it came to the forefront now thanks to this item

# example conf file for gitolite
# overall syntax:
# - everything in this is space-separated; no commas, semicolons, etc
# - 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
# 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
# convenience: allow specifying the access control in bits and pieces, even if
# they overlap. Keeps the config file smaller and saner. See the example in
# the "faq, tips, etc" document
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# LISTS
# syntax:
# @listname = name [...]
# lists can be used as shorthand for usernames as well as reponames
# a list is equivalent to typing out all the right hand side names, so why do
# we need lists at all? (1) to be able to reuse the same set of usernames in
# the paras for different repos, (2) to keep the lines short, because lists
# accumulate, like squid ACLs, so you can say:
@cust_A = cust1 cust2
@cust_A = cust99
# and this is the same as listing all three on the same line
# you can nest groups, but not recursively of course!
@interns = indy james
@staff = bob @interns
@staff = me alice
@secret_staff = bruce whitfield martin
@pubrepos = linux git
@privrepos = supersecretrepo anothersecretrepo
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# REPOS, REFS, and PERMISSIONS
# syntax:
# repo [one or more repos]
# (R|RW|RW+) [zero or more refexes] = [one or more users]
# notes:
# - the reponame is a simple name. Do not add the ".git" extension --
# that will be added by the program when the actual repo is created
# - RW+ means non-ff push is allowed
# - you can't write just "W" or "+"; it has to be R, or RW, or RW+
# - a refex is a regex that matches a ref :-) If you see the examples
# below you'll get it easy enough
# - 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)
# - the list of users or repos can inlude any group name defined earlier
# - "@all" is a special, predefined, groupname that means "all users"
# (there is no corresponding shortcut for all repos)
# matching:
# - 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
# anyone can play in the sandbox, including making non-fastforward commits
# (that's what the "+" means)
repo sandbox
RW+ = @all
# my repo and alice's repo have the same memberships and access, so we just
# put them both in the same stanza

RW+ = me alice

# this repo is visible to customers from company A but they can't write to it
repo cust_A_repo
R = @cust_A

# idea for the tags syntax shamelessly copied from git.git
# Documentation/howto/update-hook-example.txt :)

# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# GITWEB AND DAEMON CONTROL
# there is no special syntax for this. If a repo gives read permissions to
# the special user "gitweb" or "daemon", the corresponding changes are made
# when you compile; see "faq, tips, etc" document for details.
# this means you cannot have a real user called "gitweb" or "daemon" but I
# don't think that is a problem :-)
