+Repositories can be grouped by folders. e.g. *libraries/mycoollib.git* and *libraries/myotherlib.git*

+Repository names will automatically have *.git* appended to the name at creation time, if not already specified.
#### Repository Owner
The *Repository Owner* has the special permission of being able to edit a repository through the web UI. The Repository Owner is not permitted to rename the repository, delete the repository, or reassign ownership to another user.

#### 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.
