# aliasing a redmine username to a more user-friendly one
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------

=for usage

Why:

    Redmine creates users like "redmine_alice_123"; we want the users to just
    see "alice" instead of that.

Assumption:

*   Redmine does not allow duplicates in the middle bit; i.e., you can't
    create redmine_alice_123 and redmine_alice_456 also.

How:

*   add this code as lib/Gitolite/Triggers/RedmineUserAlias.pm to your
    site-local code directory; see this link for how:

        http://gitolite.com/gitolite/non-core.html#ncloc

*   add the following to the rc file, just before the ENABLE section (don't
    forget the trailing comma):

        INPUT   =>  [ 'RedmineUserAlias::input' ],

Notes:

*   http mode has not been tested and will not be.  If someone has the time to
    test it and make it work please let me know.

*   not tested with mirroring.
