Unable to init repository with README

[hubiktomas]

Hello,

I am facing a following issue:

When I create a new gitolite repo and select to initialize it with README, the repo gets created, but not initialized.

2016-02-25 10:14:03 +0000 [INFO] User 'tomas.hubik' has created a new repository 'gfl/gfl-incubator/gfl_incubator'

(Or there may be no repository at the given path. Did you spell it correctly?)

I think, that this issue is very similar to #475, but I am not using HTTPS.

In my gitolite.conf I have:

repo    @all
  RW+                            = redmine_gitolite_admin_id_rsa

repo    gfl/gfl-incubator/gfl_incubator
  RW+                            = redmine_tomas_hubik_1
  config redminegitolite.projectid = gfl-incubator
  config redminegitolite.repositoryid = gfl_incubator
  config redminegitolite.repositorykey = yHe0JRG4Pk9OakpCeS5HEAPdCMSuJfCc4wGxBqupKdPmQE2ntnGEB7PxgWpUXRje
  config http.uploadpack = false
  config http.receivepack = false
  config multimailhook.enabled = true
  config multimailhook.mailinglist = [email protected]
  config multimailhook.from = [email protected]
  config multimailhook.emailPrefix = [REDMINE]

When I check the repositories, I can see, that the repo is created, but not initialized.

When I initialize it manually and try to push to it, I get the following log output:

git.exe push --recurse-submodules=check --progress "origin" refs/heads/master:refs/heads/master

When I try to get changesets manually, I can see the repo in the redmine interface.

Can you, please, help?

Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards

Hello,

no ideas?

Thanks.

Hello,

any news there?

The problem is that "redmine_gitolite_admin_id_rsa" has RW+ access, but the access is DENIED to "admin". I suggest you add admin to the repo @ALL RW+ in the gitolite config ;)

(If you notice manual edits to the config file being removed from the file (which happened with me), stop Redmine and clear the cache, then edit the Gitlite config and then start Redmine again)

Good luck!

@jobhh Good point! Thank you :)

@hubiktomas you must not reuse the Redmine SSH key and assign it to a user.
