I've run a ~30-user, ~1000-repo gitolite instance for a few years and while it has done its job admirably, there are a couple of things to know about: It has a pretty clever config management system where the configuration is actually committed to a git repo. It's great if you're managing configuration by hand, but was difficult to automate via chef. In order to let users create their own repos, we enabled "wild repos". It's as simple as a `git clone` with the desired repo name, which is great except that users often make typos and end up accidentally creating typo'd repos. The only person who can delete repos is the user who created them or the server admin deleting directories. Perhaps there are better features I should have used?
