Summary:                    Add clarification about the "gitosis" user that was
created during installation
Description: 
The "gitosis" user is automatically created upon installation (yay) and
passwd is run in postinstall to make it a "no login" account.

This is nice, but it might be nice to note in README.csw that the account
is a no-login account and you have to be root when you do step 1 in the
readme (not sure if the root not is needed once you know it's a no login
account).

>From a user experience perspective it would also be nice if the path to
the README.csw was pointed out. Having to scroll past a ton of python
compliation to find it is suboptimal.

A newly updated version has been placed in testing.  The previous update
had a packaging bug that stripped some required files.

Please try 2009.09.19.

If you think this is adequate, I'll push it into the release stream.
