Conceptually, gitolite can do the roles stuff you mentioned, if I understood it correctly. Of course, gitolite's access config is in plain text. The web-based control, issue tracking, etc., are all on a different plane from what gitosis/gitolite aim to be. So much so that I might even disagree with Pasky on the need to mention these two products in your website. Here's one perspective (in round figures): gitolite: 1600 lines of shell+perl, 1600 lines of doc gitosis: 3300 lines of python MR: 150 MB binary download I don't honestly see any way to even *begin* to compare :-) You should stick to gitorious, github, and -- here's a new one for you -- indefero. -- Sitaram -- 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
