+# 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.
+
+Quote:
+
+*   "All that for what is effectively one line of code.  I need a life".
