Oops, that's my bad! I forgot that the patch file header would say
that.  There's a second patch that changes the Gitolite service to use
this new field, which is the service that sparked the need for this
additional flexibility, but I was going to leave that out for now and
maybe just push directly as it's a 2 line change and the gitolite
system test passes. So, please disregard that 1/2 thing!

Thanks for checking!

- Dave
