Answer 1

As of v3.5, you can do this:

(1) add this line

'refex-expr',

somewhere inside the ENABLE hash in the .gitolite.rc file.

(2) use rules like this:

repo r1
    RW+ master                          =   user
    RW+                                 =   user
    RW+ VREF/NAME/Makefile              =   user
    -   master and VREF/NAME/Makefile   =   user

Documentation (including warnings!) is inside src/VREF/refex-expr. There are some other neat examples in there.

Please note that I do not follow SO/SE/etc.; IMO the gitolite mailing list is the correct place for questions about gitolite.

However, someone pointed this one out to me, and since it referenced a very recent feature I thought I'd chip in.
