Specify default access restriction

[gitblit]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 88

I would like to mention the following:
Most of the repositories are accessed via ssh and authorisation is managed by unix
groups. Some repositories we want to control access to with GitBlit. If I configure
the gitblit instance to work on the complete git tree (repositoriesFolder = /data/git)
and I set enableGitServlet to true, all repositories are accessible by default via
http(s). 

I would like an option to block clone, push and/or view access by default for repositories
not configured using gitblit (basically: use a default 'access restriction' when none
is specified)

Currently we run two instances as workaround: 
- One for view only access (as a browser) allowing easy navigation through the repositories.
A single account suffices for this. There is no (easy) way to download the sources
this way (ssh is used with unix group restriction).
- One for gitblit managed access control, working only on a subtree of the repositoriesFolder
containing repositories which are configured by gitblit to have an owner and access
permissions.

A second workaround would be to configure all repositories manually by setting access
restrictions, since it does not seem to interfere with ssh access until you change
unix file permissions.

Specifying a default access restriction is a reasonable request.
