No chapter on Gitolite about progit2 HOT 2 CLOSED

The reason for this is mainly relevance. When v1 was published, there weren't all that many hosting packages, and Gitolite and Gitosis were among the best. Since then, we've seen the emergence of GitLab, Stash, GitHub Enterprise, and lots of other full-featured workflow suites, and the vast majority of professional users choose those over textual configuration of SSH-only repo access. The people who want Gitosis and Gitolite will probably find them on their own, and they both have pretty good documentation, so Pro Git doesn't have to act as the manual for them (as it did in v1).

Having said that, I'd be happy to consider a PR that directs interested readers to these tools, but they don't warrant large portions of an already-crowded chapter.

Agreed. Actually, when v1 was published there was just gitosis which I believe was originally mentioned. The Gitolite people added some gitolite in here to replace that section I think, but now we've replaced that with GitLab, which is the professional "run your own" management solution we see used the most often.

Now there is a whole book on Gitolite available if people want to go down that path, but probably the more likely solution professionals will want is something with a web interface and more user-friendly overall experience.
