   An update that fixes one vulnerability is now available.

Description:

   This update for gitolite fixes the following issues:

   Gitolite was updated to 3.6.9:

   - CVE-2018-16976: prevent racy access to repos in process of migration to
     gitolite (boo#1108272)
   - 'info' learns new '-p' option to show only physical repos (as opposed to
     wild repos)

   The update to 3.6.8 contains:

   - fix bug when deleting *all* hooks for a repo
   - allow trailing slashes in repo names
   - make pre-receive hook driver bail on non-zero exit of a pre-receive hook
   - allow templates in gitolite.conf (new feature)
   - various optimiations

   The update to 3.6.7 contains:

   - allow repo-specific hooks to be organised into subdirectories, and allow
     the multi-hook driver to be placed in some other location of your choice
   - allow simple test code to be embedded within the gitolite.conf file; see
     contrib/utils/testconf for how. (This goes on the client side, not on
     the server)
   - allow syslog "facility" to be changed, from the default of 'local0'
   - allow syslog "facility" to be changed, from the default of replaced with
     a space separated list of members
   The update to 3.6.6 contains:

   - simple but important fix for a future perl deprecation (perl will be
     removing "." from @INC in 5.24)
   - 'perms' now requires a '-c' to activate batch mode (should not affect
     interactive use but check your scripts perhaps?)
   - gitolite setup now accepts a '-m' option to supply a custom message
     (useful when it is used by a script)
