Documentation: shared repository management in tutorial.

The branch policy script I outlined was improved and polished by
Carl and posted on the list twice since then.  It is a shame not
to pick it up, so replace the original outline in
howto/update-hook-example.txt with the latest from Carl.

Also talk about setting up git-shell to allow git-push/git-fetch
only SSH access to a shared repository host in the tutorial.

So if your policy is (1) always require fast-forward push

or "bw/panda" branches, Pasky can do only "cogito", and I can do
master branch and make versioned tags. And anybody can do
tmp/blah branches. This assumes all the users are in a single

Advanced Shared Repository Management
-------------------------------------
Being able to push into a shared repository means being able to
write into it. If your developers are coming over the network,
this means you, as the repository administrator, need to give
each of them an SSH access to the shared repository machine.
In some cases, though, you may not want to give a normal shell
account to them, but want to restrict them to be able to only
do `git push` into the repository and nothing else.
You can achieve this by setting the login shell of your
developers on the shared repository host to `git-shell` program.
[NOTE]
Most likely you would also need to list `git-shell` program in
`/etc/shells` file.
This restricts the set of commands that can be run from incoming
SSH connection for these users to only `receive-pack` and
`upload-pack`, so the only thing they can do are `git fetch` and
`git push`.
You still need to create UNIX user accounts for each developer,
and put them in the same group. Make sure that the repository
shared among these developers is writable by that group.
You can implement finer grained branch policies using update
hooks. There is a document ("control access to branches") in
Documentation/howto by Carl Baldwin and JC outlining how to (1)
limit access to branch per user, (2) forbid overwriting existing
tags.
