    list-members                list all members of a group

Warnings:
  – list-users is disk bound and could take a while on sites with 1000s of repos
  – list-memberships does not check if the name is known; unknown names come
    back with 2 answers: the name itself and ‘@all’

In addition, running ‘gitolite help’ should give you a list of custom commands available. They may or may not respond to ‘-h’, depending on how they were written.
