Sitaram Chamarty 37a6a6a7d3 towel needed more clarity
for people who don't get the continual reference to towels when talking
about the "gl-dont-panic" program, all I can say is that your education
is incomplete ;-)

First: DON'T PANIC
NOTE: This advice pertains to gitolite specific issues. If you don't
have ANY access to the server at all, it is OK to panic.
Step 1: prepare
- copy this program to your gitolite server
- if you lost your admin key, create a new keypair on your workstation
and copy the pub part of this new key also to the server
- rename it to whatever your gitolite admin username is, with a .pub
extension. (Example, I would call it "sitaram.pub")
Step 2: use one of the fixes below (on the server)
- (FIX #1: REWINDING BAD ADMIN COMMITS) if your last commit(s) to the
gitolite-admin repo pushed a very bad config and you want to rewind it
to a known good state, run this:
$0 rewind
(this doesn't actually rewind; it creates a new commit that has
the same state as the last good commit, which has the same effect)
- (FIX #2: PUSHING A NEW ADMIN KEY) if you lost your admin key, or you
had used the wrong key initially, then you get yourself a new keypair
and run this with the new pubkey:
$0 sitaram.pub # example using my name
Please note that this simply *replaces* the key for user "sitaram".
It does NOT add a new admin called "sitaram". In fact it does not
touch the config file (access rules) at all.
Step 3: completing the fix (on your workstation)
- do a 'git pull' on the gitolite admin clone or make a fresh clone
