# adc for someone with admin privs to invoke "expand" on other users.
# This doc block as "WHY", "HOW", and "CAVEATS" sections; I mention that only
# for those people with very small xterms who may miss the CAVEATS section
# otherwise...!
# WHY
# ===
# ...because info has it, and expand doesn't :-)
# (Possible question: Why not add that capability to expand instead to be
# consistent? Probable answer: how about we go the other way and make
# "info" also work like this, and remove that code from core? I like
# having less less code in core!)
# HOW
# ===
# ssh gitolite su-expand . user1 user2 user3
# note that the first argument is still treated as a "pattern", so at
# least put in a "." for a catch-all pattern. Also see caveats for
# patterns below.
# This will output the same thing as "ssh git@server expand ." performed
# by the individual users
# CAVEATS
# =======
# (1) LIMITS TO THE PATTERN
# Due to this being an ADC, and ADC arguments being very, Very, VERY,
# stricly limited, you won't be able to use any regex meta characters
# expect ".". I'll worry about changing it if enough people complain.
# (2) NAME OF THIS SCRIPT
# please name this script something other than "expand", because we can't
# have name clashes between internal commands (info, expand,
# (get|set)(perms|desc), etc) and admin-defined (external) commands. I'm
# calling it su-expand; feel free to change it.
