hi Guys,

because of nescience, in former times i created a gerrit project the following way:

create project via gui

then delete from gerrit created git repo

this means you have direct access to bare repos hosted in Gerrit.. 

 

git clone --bare <existing repo> to the deleted gerrit repo

this results in not existing refs/meta/config ref.

so no my question is how to repair this ?

if i push a new commit via :

git push master:refs/meta/config ssh://gerritadmin/existing_project_with_many_commits_and_reviews  

(where master is a new git repo with one commit of the project.config file)

i get:

fatal: remote part of refspec is not a valid name in ssh://gerritadmin/assekuradeur_onestydirect

so how to create the remote ref ?

At the machine were Gerrit runs you can:

* clone that repository into new folder (outside of the Gerrit's "git" folder)

$ git clone /path/to/gerrit/git/your/repo

* create refs/meta/config branch and its content

* push back to the remote repo

$ git push origin refs/meta/config:refs/meta/config

On the other side it might be easier to create a new repository in Gerrit

and then push all refs/heads/* from the current one (one without refs/meat/config)

into the new one.
