About a month ago, I managed to write a somewhat working Gitolite
service. This still needs a bit of work, as the service needs cleaning
up, and the documentation writing. I also need to actually try using it
for real, rather than just assuming it'll work because of the system
test.
Anyway, I haven't got around to doing any of these things in the
intervening month, so here is a bug to track adding a Gitolite service,
and I'll send the current patches I've got.

Well, it's in master now (as of a few minutes ago), so I'd suggest
giving it a go.
The Guix service is just a thin wrapper around Gitolite to get it going,
so hopefully not much can go wrong. I'm not sure if necessarily all the
features of Gitolite work in the package (as the service runs in a more
minimal environment that a normal user may have). But, hopefully it will
just work fine :)
