Gerrit can no longer view repos/projects that do not end in ".git". This used to work on an older version.

Our previous developers had someone how integrated gerrit to use some existing repos which we had (created by Kallithea-SCM). There are hundreds of repos on the local filesystem. Unfortunately, Gerrit can only see the ones that end in ".git"

Repo.git -> visible

Repo2

Repo3

Repo4.git -> visible

We were originally running version 2.10.2 and all of the repos were visible, but when we upgraded to 2.12.3 this error started to occur.

Does anyone know of a configuration setting that can be set to allow Gerrit to see all repos again? Is it possible that previous developers edited the source and built a custom build?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

When you rename Repo2 to Repo2.git, what happens?

When I renamed the repo and appended .git, it appears in gerrit, but it disappears in Kallithea, making it inaccessible to our developers and build servers.

Try a softlink

"ln -s Repo2 Repo.git" and then restart the Gerrit.

Repo2.git --->Repo2

That works, but as I mentioned before there are about 400 repos, and new ones are added and removed daily. Adding symlinks to them every time would not be feasible. This all worked normally in 2.10.2 for some reason, and then after the upgrade things broke for us. I'd ultimately like to resolve it without major filesystem changes and additional maintenance.
