@ -10,5 +10,25 @@ git-annex-shell subcommands to read-only users.
I have posted an RFC for modifying gitolite to the
[gitolite mailing list](http://groups.google.com/group/gitolite?lnk=srg).
> I have not developed a patch yet, but all that git-annex needs is a way
> to ssh to the server and run the git-annex-shell command there.
> git-annex-shell is very similar to git-shell. So, one way to enable
> it is simply to set GL_ADC_PATH to a directory containing git-annex-shell.

> But, that's not optimal, since git-annex-shell will send off receive-pack
> commands to git, which would bypass gitolite's permissions checking.
> Also, it makes sense to limit readonly users to only download, not

# If set, users with W access can write file contents into the git-annex,
# and users with R access can read file contents from the git-annex.
$GL_GIT_ANNEX = 0;

As I don't write python, someone else is needed to work on gitosis.
