ryoon 334360092d Update to 3.6.1
* Improve MESSAGE

Changelog:
2014-06-22  v3.6.1  experimental rc format convertor for "<= 3.3" users who
                    have already upgraded the *code* to ">= v3.4".  Program is
                    in contrib/utils.

                    giving shell access to a few users got a lot easier (see
                    comments in the rc file).

                    allow logging to syslog as well (see comments in the rc
                    file)

                    new 'motd' command

                    redis caching redone and now in core; see
                    http://gitolite.com/gitolite/cache.html

2014-05-09  v3.6    (cool stuff) the access command can now help you debug
                    your rules / understand how a specific access decision was
                    arrived at.

                    mirroring: since mirroring is asynchronous (by default
                    anyway), when a 'git push --mirror' fails, you may not
                    know it unless you look in the log file on the server.
                    Now gitolite captures the info and -- if the word 'fatal'
                    appears anywhere within it, it saves the entire output and
                    prints it to STDERR for anyone who reads or writes the
                    repo on the *master* server, until the error condition
                    clears up.

                    mirroring: allow 'nosync' slaves -- no attempt to
                    automatically push to these slaves will be made.  Instead,
                    you have to manually (or via cron, etc) trigger pushes.

                    (backward compat breakage) the old v2 syntax for
                    specifying gitweb owner and description is no longer
                    supported.

                    macros now allow strings as arguments (thanks to Jason
                    Donenfeld for the idea/problem).

                    the 'info' command can print in JSON format if asked to.

                    repo-specific hooks: now you can specify more than one,
                    and gitolite runs all of them in sequence.

                    new trigger 'expand-deny-messages' to show more details
                    when access is denied.

                    git-annex support is finally in master, yaaay!

                    new 'readme' command, modelled after 'desc'.  Apparently
                    gitweb can use a README.html file in the *bare* repo
                    directory -- who knew!

2013-10-14  v3.5.3  catch undefined groupnames (when possible)

                    mirroring: async push to slaves

                    (some portability fixes)

                    (a couple of contrib scripts - querying IPA based LDAP
                    servers for group membership, and user key management)

                    allow groups in subconf files (this *may* slow down
                    compilation in extreme cases)

                    make adding repo-specific hooks easier (see cust.mkd or
                    cust.html online for docs)

                    smart http now supports git 1.8.2 and above (which changed
                    the protocol requirements a wee bit)

To use gitolite, you will need to perform the following steps.
1. Create a new user/group, for example, git/git.
On server,
# groupadd git
# useradd -m -g git git
2. login with new user git, create ssh public key, and copy public key
file to user git's home directory on server.
On server
$ mkdir ~/.ssh
$ chmod 700 ~/.ssh
On client
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -f git
$ scp ~/git.pub gitserver:~/
On server
$ chmod 600 ~/git.pub
3. Setup gitolite.
On server, run
$ gitolite setup -pk git.pub
You can get gitolite-admin.git and testing.git repositories.
And edit config file.
4. Setup ~/.ssh/config on client.
Add the following lines.
host gitserver
user git
hostname RealGitServerName
port 22
identityfile ~/.ssh/git
5. For administrative setting, please clone gitolite-admin repository.
On client,
$ git clone gitserver:gitolite-admin
