GitLab

Created by: kenips

I get this error when gitlab tries to create / update project:

Errno::EPERM (Operation not permitted - /home/git/repositories/project.git/hooks/post-receive):
  app/models/project/repository_trait.rb:51:in `chmod'
  app/models/project/repository_trait.rb:51:in `write_hook'
  app/models/project/repository_trait.rb:36:in `block in write_hooks'
  app/models/project/repository_trait.rb:35:in `each'
  app/models/project/repository_trait.rb:35:in `write_hooks'

  app/models/project_observer.rb:3:in `after_save'
  app/controllers/projects_controller.rb:60:in `block in update'
  app/controllers/projects_controller.rb:59:in `update'

Running diagnostic tells me that everything is fine and I'm sure that the user gitlab run as (me) can write to the folder

# bundle exec rake gitlab:app:status RAILS_ENV=production

If I manually run chmod I get the same result, since I am only part of the group 'git' and not owner of the file.

# chmod 775 /home/git/repositories/project.git/hooks/post-receive
chmod: changing permissions of `/home/git/repositories/project.git/hooks/post-receive': Operation not permitted

So am I missing something? Or should gitlab not be running chmod as me?
