+=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.
