+=head1 Name
+
+gitolite - gatekeeper for git repositories
+
+=head1 Synopsis
+
+B<gitolite>  I<sub-command> [I<option>...]
+
+=head1 Description
+
+The following built-in subcommands are available; they should all respond to
+'-h' if you want further details on each:
+
+    setup                       1st run: initial setup; all runs: hook fixups
+    compile                     compile gitolite.conf
+
+    query-rc                    get values of rc variables
+
+    list-groups                 list all group names in conf
+    list-users                  list all users/user groups in conf
+    list-repos                  list all repos/repo groups in conf
+    list-phy-repos              list all repos actually on disk
+    list-memberships            list all groups a name is a member of
+    list-members                list all members of a group
+
+Warnings:
+  - list-users is disk bound and could take a while on sites with 1000s of repos
+  - list-memberships does not check if the name is known; unknown names come
+    back with 2 answers: the name itself and '@all'
+
+In addition, running 'gitolite help' should give you a list of custom commands
+available.  They may or may not respond to '-h', depending on how they were
+written.
