If you have many thousands of repos and users, neatly organised into
groups, etc., the normal gitolite fails. (It actually runs out of
memory very fast while doing the "compile" when you push the config, due
to the number of combinations of repo/user being stored in the hash!)
This commit series will stop doing that if you set $GL_BIG_CONFIG = 1 in
the rc file.
Some notes:
- deny rules will still work but somewhat differently -- now they must
be placed all together in one place to work like before. Ask me for
details if you need to know before I get done with the docs
- I've tested most of the important features, but not every single
nuance
- the update hook may be a tad less efficient now; we can try and
tweak it later if needed but it shouldn't really hurt anything
significantly even now
- docs have not been written yet
