Description

Using latest gitea/gitea docker image. When I create new repository, but do not initialize it on server it shows howto push it from client. So I create repository, add all files, commit it to git, push it to remote according to howto but nothing shows on web (but code is there) - I tried to clone files locally to different folder. On Discord with lafriks we find out that I have to change is_bare to f in postgres then it's working, but he was not able to reproduce it (and for him it changes to is_bare to f when he push something)

Can not reproduce that locally.

Is there any way how I can debug it more from my side?

[lunny]

Could you find the xorm.log to put it also on gist?

I'm still having this issue over at #2665 - You can fix it for individual repos by editing your database manually, but I still haven't figured out where the error's coming from.

Here is the log: https://ncry.pt/p/ugKn#B9sqCgoGCJzWgHYb-GljnXP20lKkGDxfr9DrcsWBrws

@cathalgarvey yep, I know you can fix it manually.. bt that´s actually not what I am looking for :))

repo.IsBare is only updated in once place, in CommitRepoAction:

gitea/models/action.go

Line 527 in f2e20c8

repo.IsBare = repo.IsBare && opts.Commits.Len <= 0

This function is called by models.pushUpdate, which is called by models.PushUpdate, which is the implementation of the internal API endpoint /push/update, created in 1773e88. Once again this is only called from one place:

gitea/cmd/hook.go

Line 203 in 9ddbbd9

if err := private.PushUpdate(models.PushUpdateOptions{

which is the implementation for the gitea hook command. This command is run from the $REPO/hooks/post-receive.d/gitea script, which is called from the $REPO/hooks/post-receive wrapper, which is (finally) run by git when pushing over ssh.

This means that if for some reason git hooks are not getting called, or some program they depend on is missing, the IsBare state of the repository will never get updated in the web UI.

In my case the problem was having my repo storage on a ZFS dataset mounted noexec. Since git has a "feature" of treating non-executable hooks as disabled, and noexec appears exactly as if execute permission was missing from the file, there's no warning message from git that the hook is ignored.

After remounting the filesystem exec and pushing new commits (by deleting and recreating a branch), the web UI updated as expected.

Hi @smaeul,

Wow, such a detailed and great explanation. Many thanks! Yes, I have filesystem mounted with noexec, so that could be the issue. I will give it a try tonight and report if it's working or not.

Same error here. I push in a bare repo via HTTP, not via SSH.

So I need to update the bare flag manually. Is here a solution for this?
