I tried to run git stash pop after the upgrade from 6.5.1 to 6.6.0 but I'm getting:

unable to refresh index

Which means the changes to my config/environments/production.rb were lost during the upgrade or something else went wrong.

Here are the relevant logs:

Shutting down both Unicorn and Sidekiq.
GitLab is not running.

Seems permission-related. When I run

sudo -u git git stash pop

I get the stashed changes back:

Perhaps the upgrading script readme should be updated to reflect that – or some permissions need changing?

Is this still an issue on newer versions?

@Razer6 I don't know, I'm not in control of this server anymore. Like I mentioned, the easiest fix would've been to update the upgrade script's README to tell people to use sudo -u. Not sure if this is still relevant.

There is now an upgrade script which handles all for you :)
