Question

When I try to ‘git push origin master’ I get the error ‘DENIED by fallthru’

I’ve spent the last three hours googling. I can’t figure out how to fix it.

repo    treasure-hunt
  RW+                            = david_neudorfer_lbox_com_1350344583

I noticed that the numbers after the names are different. Hoping that had something to do with it I tried:

repo    test_project
  RW+                            = david_neudorfer_lbox_com_1350344583
  RW+                            = david_neudorfer_lbox_com_1350337154

Didn’t work. Any suggestions would be great.

As cjc343 comments, the last error line is telling:

2012-10-15.16:43:47 16930   die W any Treasure-Hunt 
                            DENIED by fallthru
                            (or you mis-spelled the reponame)

That error message comes from the main() function of src/gitolite-shell, after calling the src/lib/Gitolite/Conf/Load.pm repo_missing() function.

sub repo_missing {
    my $repo = shift;
    sanity($repo);

    return not -d "$rc{GL_REPO_BASE}/$repo.git";
}

It looks for a directory, which is, on Unix system, case sensitive.

Then you need to fix the id issue: you should be authenticated always with the same name.
