I've setup gitolite with shell access, and using Capistrano to deploy my code to production. The problem is that Capistrano bundles multiple commands in one line, using newlines and gitolite has a security check that looks for newlines, and dies. I'm not sure whether to tackle this from the Capistrano or Gitolite side.
I'm seeing this error from running 'cap deploy'
