Cannot Create/Administer Gitolite Repositories

[KazW]

Hi, Let me start off by thanking you for undertaking this project, it's much needed since gitosis is no longer being maintained (or at least hasn't been update for over a year).

I have managed to successfully install and configure this plugin, and I added a key for my user. However, when I created the repository in redmine, my gitolite configuration was not updated. Also, when I click the repository tab in the project, it displays an error page about the repository not being created yet. I followed the instructions on the page, but since gitolite has not created the repository permissions or my key, the process failed.

It maybe worth mentioning that the gitosis plugin started exhibiting the same behaviour once I made the switch to an sqlite backend.

Log output:
The revision '' has a wrong format

I've switched to using mysql, however now I'm getting the same results as mentioned in issue #2

i think it's not database problem.

After create project and repository in redmine, check git repositories.(e.g. /opt/gitolite/repositories). Your projects's repository directory should exist in there because gitolite creates bare repository.

If your repository directory is not created, this plugin doesn't work properly.
The reason maybe that redmine couldn't access gitolite-admin.

check below.

1. check 'Gitolite identity file' is correct. (redmine > administration > plugins > redmine-gitolite plugin configure)
2. check redmine has right to access gitolite-admin with that key.

Redmine is able to modify the gitolite.conf file and add keys, however the repositories aren't created by redmine. This maybe an issue with my gitolite install, I'm looking into it.

There is some issue with using sqlite though, as Redmine could only modify the gitolite.conf file after I switched databases. This issue also seems to affect the gitosis plugin.
