-Hosted repositories will be stored under @/var/lib/arvados/git/@. If you choose a different location, make sure to update the @git_repositories_dir@ entry in your API server's @config/application.yml@ file, preserving the trailing @repositories/@ part.
+Gitolite and some additional scripts will be installed in @/var/lib/arvados/git@, which means hosted repository data will be stored in @/var/lib/arvados/git/repositories@. If you choose to install gitolite in a different location, make sure to update the @git_repositories_dir@ entry in your API server's @config/application.yml@ file accordingly: for example, if you install gitolite at @/data/gitolite@ then your @git_repositories_dir@ will be @/data/gitolite/repositories@.
