That was the main reason I wrote gitolite (http://github.com/sitaramc/gitolite), though now it does a heck of a lot more than just that. Scroll down a bit on that page for the README. People have said pretty nice things about it on #git, and (subject to being in India time zone and the day job and all) I make sure I help out as much as I can. Email or #git, both are fine. Being somewhat familiar with ssh and authkeys is good. Otherwise, *please* be sure to read http://sitaramc.github.com/0-installing/9-gitolite-basics.html for background -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
