Gitolite appears to understand this, yes: doing

  $ git clone git at host:foo/bar.git

creates and clones a repository.

Note, however, that this scheme means your local copy will be named
"bar", unless you take the trouble to build your own foo/ directory
and cd to it before cloning.

An alternative scheme would be to replace the "/" with ".", so that
you still have the visual hierarchy but the full repository name
travels along with the clone (ie, "git clone git at host:foo.bar.git"
leaves you with a local foo.bar repository).  Just a suggestion.

I have no strong feelings about the repository layout, although no
doubt I could acquire some if the bikeshed isn't colorful enough yet.
