+gitolite (Hosting git repositories)
+
+Gitolite allows you to setup git hosting on a central server, with very
+fine-grained access control and many (many!) more powerful features.
+
+This script expects and offers commands to create 'gitolite' user and a
+group. Switching to a more popular username, such as 'git', is done by
+running the script like this:
+
+ GL_USER=git GL_GROUP=git ./gitolite.SlackBuild
+
+See README.SLACKWARE (which is also installed with the package docs) for
+setup, configuration, and usage hints.
