As there appears to be a lack of willingness to invest the tiniest bit of extra effort to implement a proper patch, and given the length of previous discussion, I think my time will be better spent continuing fixing things in Guix rather than any failing attempts at convincing you. As such, I'll stop responding until a v2 or questions on how to implement a v2, but that cannot be interpreted as me agreeing with you.


From my perspective, there is a lack of willingness on your end to accept imperfect solutions that have low impact.  In projects I maintain and in the professional world, I try to acknowledge the work someone has already done and accept patches/pull requests that are not ideal but solve real world problems.  I'd be happy to do some follow-up work to make system-level improvements when I have the time to properly test a change that impacts literally everyone that uses the Guix distro, but it would have been great to have improved the gitolite service in the meantime.  If/when I get around to doing this work, I'll send along a patch.

To any other maintainer or core dev: If any of you wants to sign off on this patch as-is, I'll merge it.  I have commit access.
