tools/* forbidden Gerrit repository name (with git lfs)?

[Mikko Paukkila]

Does not work:

If you create a repository as tools/<something>, git LFS pushes will fail with HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed.

Works:

If you create a repository e.g. as 3rdparty/<something>, git LFS pushes will work fine.

From where does this limitation come from that practically tools/ should not be used as a prefix for repository names? Gerrit? lfs-plugin? git-lfs?

Could this be fixed? I have faced this issue also in past and this is related only to tools/ prefix.

Log attached.

Ps. Apache reverse proxy in between, but I don't think it impacts to this case.

Is lfs configured for this repo path, see https://gerrit.googlesource.com/plugins/lfs/+/refs/heads/master/src/main/resources/Documentation/config.md?

You should see this on the repo settings page in the lfs section as well.

Yes, LFS is enabled for both repos (tools/cmake and 3rdparty/cmake in this trial) and configurations are matching. LFS works fine for >20 other repositories that we have in our Gerrit.

Both repositories have LFS Info:
Enabled: true
Max Object Size:1048576000
Read Only:false
Backend:common

Rights are inherit from the same repository so no difference there either. 

It is just that 'tools' prefix that is treated by Gerrit or plugin in some special way. But what Gerrit component causes that, I don't yet know.


Short version of the error message:
