Redmine + Gitolite - Issue with repository permiss

问题:

I have a Redmine installation on the same server as my gitolite repositories.

In order to link my repository to my Redmine instance, I locally cloned the repo with the following command:

git clone --bare --local /home/git/repositories/my-repo.git

Just as I successfully clone the repo on the server, I can navigate through the repo on Redmine, as expected.

The thing is, as soon as I do that, I can't push anything more to the remote repo on my local machine.

When I try

git push

I get the following errors:

Counting objects: 15, done.
Delta compression using up to 4 threads.
Compressing objects: 100% (7/7), done.
Writing objects: 100% (8/8), 695 bytes, done.

error: unpack failed: unpack-objects abnormal exit
To [e-mail]:my-repo.git
 ! [remote rejected] master -> master (n/a (unpacker error))
error: failed to push some refs to '[e-mail]:my-repo.git'

Any ideas on that?

EDIT #1

The gitolite logs show the following:

I managed to get it working pointing the original repo to Redmine, since both sit on the same machine, by following some simple steps:

1. Add a repository on Redmine with the original repo of gitolite's repository. The path would be something like /home/git/repositories/my-repo.git.

2. Initially, Redmine doesn't have any permissions to read the repository, so we fix the problem by adding the Redmine user (usually www-data or apache) to the git group by running usermod -a -G git www-data (be aware of your server's configuration, because that can be a little different, according to how you configurated gitolite.

3. Change the UMASK property on the .gitolite.rc file, from the default value of 0077 to 0022, the equivalent of 755 (rwxr-xr-x) for directories and 644 (rw-r--r--) for files.

4. For existing repos, you might need to run a chmod -R g+rX

If you still experience the permissions trouble with Redmine, where it opens a 404instead of the repo on the repository tab, you might have to run a chmod -R g+rX on the whole /home/git/repositories, in order to make sure the Redmine user can read all the way through the repos.

If a git repack remote/origin/master doesn't fix the issue, check your umask (umask 0002) to avoid any writing permission issue, as mentioned in "git: can't push (unpacker error)".

Beside that, "Unpacker error Git-pushing from bare repo to staging server" summarize all the other points to check.
