getting the gitolite software

You can get the latest version of gitolite from github or google code using the 'git clone' command:

git clone git://github.com/sitaramc/gitolite.git
        # (OR)
git clone https://code.google.com/p/gitolite/

getting a tar file from a clone

If you are on an internal network and cannot clone the gitolite repo, you can do the clone on some other machine and create a tar file from it to use on the internal network. Here's how:

git clone git://github.com/sitaramc/gitolite.git
        # (OR)
git clone git://sitaramc.indefero.net/sitaramc/gitolite.git
cd gitolite
make master.tar
# or maybe "make pu.tar"

Please use the make command as shown, not a plain "git archive", because the Makefile adds a file called .GITOLITE-VERSION that will help you identify which version you are using.
