hooks: move the vcs hook entry points and setup code out of lib
Mercurial hooks are running in a process that already has been initialized, so
they invoke the hooks lib directly. Git hooks are binaries and need a lot of
initialization before they can do the same. Move this extra setup code
elsewhere.
Having this high level code in bin is perhaps also not ideal, but it also
doesn't seem that bad: that is where other command line entry points invoke
make_app.
(It seems like it could be adventageous to somehow use "real" bin commands for
hooks ... but for now we use the home-made templates.)
Note: As a side effect of this change, all git hooks *must* be re-installed
when upgrading.

=============================
Version control systems setup
=============================
Kallithea supports Git and Mercurial repositories out-of-the-box.
For Git, you do need the ``git`` command line client installed on the server.
You can always disable Git or Mercurial support by editing the
file ``kallithea/__init__.py`` and commenting out the backend. For example, to
disable Git but keep Mercurial enabled:
.. code-block:: python
BACKENDS = {
'hg': 'Mercurial repository',
#'git': 'Git repository',
}
Git-specific setup
------------------
Web server with chunked encoding
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Large Git pushes require an HTTP server with support for
chunked encoding for POST. The Python web servers waitress_ and
gunicorn_ (Linux only) can be used. By default, Kallithea uses
waitress_ for `gearbox serve` instead of the built-in `paste` WSGI
server.
The web server used by gearbox is controlled in the .ini file::
use = egg:waitress#main
or::
use = egg:gunicorn#main
Also make sure to comment out the following options::
threadpool_workers =
threadpool_max_requests =
use_threadpool =
Increasing Git HTTP POST buffer size
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If Git pushes fail with HTTP error code 411 (Length Required), you may need to
increase the Git HTTP POST buffer. Run the following command as the user that
runs Kallithea to set a global Git variable to this effect::
git config --global http.postBuffer 524288000

.. _gunicorn: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/gunicorn
