trouble setting up gerrit and git

[funeeldy]

I gave the path to the git repositories.. and I have setup ssh access
for gerrit2 user to git. I was able to clone my repo as gerrit2.
What does this error mean??

The repository does not have a valid config file. It should look like:

[core]
repositoryformatversion = 0

But that line is missing...
