Gitolite w. Gitweb and Wildcard Repos

Question

with a gitolite configuration like this:

    repo    users/CREATOR/.+
            C       =   @defaultgroup
            RW+D    =   CREATOR
            RWD     =   @defaultgroup

the users of our server can easily create their own repositories just by cloning the "to be created" repo - e.g. with:

    git clone git@git.exmaple.com/users/foo.bar/new

This also shows up in our gitweb. But what's missing is some git configuration. I haven't been able to figure out how I could add working configuration to these newly created repositories (e.g. gitweb.url)?

Just for comparison - this is how a "normal" repo would look like:

    repo    normal/repo
            R       =   @all
            RW      =   @defaultgroup
            config  gitweb.url = git@git.exmaple.com/normal/repo.git
            config  receive.denyNonFastforwards = true

Any hints welcome, Cheers.

From the gitolite config page:

You can also use the special values %GL_REPO and %GL_CREATOR in the string.
The former is available to all repos, while the latter is only available to wild repos.

So this could work (not tested):

config  gitweb.url = git@git.exmaple.com/%GL_CREATOR/%GL_REPO
config  receive.denyNonFastforwards = true

(I suppose the last line would apply to all wild repos created under repo users/CREATOR/.+)

Solution was right for Gitolite 3 - unfortunately version2 doesn't support equal options. – pagid Oct 26 '12 at 22:53
