 Git:Blit is an open-source, integrated pure Java stack for managing, viewing, and serving [Git][git] repositories.
 Its designed primarily as a tool for small workgroups who want to host [Git][git] repositories on a Windows machine.  Having said that, it works equally well on any standard Linux distribution.

 #### User Roles
 There is only one actual *role* in Git:Blit and that is *#admin* which grants administrative powers to that user.  Administrators automatically have access to all repositories.  All other *roles* are repository names.  If a repository is access-restricted, the user must have the repository's name within his/her roles to bypass the access restriction.  This is how users are granted access to a restricted repository.

 ### I want to deploy Git:Blit into my own servlet container.  Where is the WAR?
 At this time there is no WAR build available.
 
+### Can I restrict access to paths within a repository?
+No.  Access restrictions apply to the repository as a whole.

+Git:Blit's simple authentication and authorization mechanism can be used to facilitate one or more of the [workflows outlined here](http://progit.org/book/ch5-1.html).  Should you require more fine-grained access controls you might consider using [gitolite](https://github.com/sitaramc/gitolite).

 ### Why doesn't Git:Blit support SSH?
 Git:Blit could integrate [Apache Mina][mina] to provide SSH access.  However, doing so violates Git:Blit's first design principle: [KISS](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle).<br/>
-SSH supports requires creating, exchanging, and managing SSH keys.  While this is doable, its not simple like JGit's SmartHTTP implementation.
+SSH support requires creating, exchanging, and managing SSH keys.  While this is possible, JGit's SmartHTTP implementation is a simpler and cleaner transport mechanism.
 
 You might consider running [Gerrit](http://gerrit.googlecode.org) which does integrate [Apache Mina][mina] and supports SSH or you might consider serving [Git][git] on Linux which would offer real SSH support and also allow use of [many other compelling Git solutions](https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/InterfacesFrontendsAndTools).
