gitolite releases

Github has these nice release summaries: https://github.com/spinalcordtoolbox/optic_models/releases

Can we create the same for gitolite? It would be somewhat redundant since the interface to "releases" (i.e. git tags) is already straightforward on the command line. It would be the difference between

git clone [email protected]:datasets/uk-biobank-processed && cd uk-biobank-processed && git tag -l

and

ssh [email protected] releases datasets/uk-biobank-processed

but the advantage of the latter is you could look through releases without having to download anything first; and then you could download only the minimally necessary part (with clone -b):

git clone --depth 1 -b r20210923 [email protected]:datasets/uk-biobank-processed

Maybe consider contacting the gitoline folks with that question (ie: do they already have that feature or planning to develop it?)

reminder: gitolite contact point is [email protected]

This would be cool but this is a WONTFIX because #77 / https://github.com/neuropoly/computers/issues/167 suoersedes it: by replacing gitolite with gitea we get Releases for free, and a bunch of other features.
