Hello Tommi,
I just tried to setup gitosis on a VirtualBox virtual machine with
guest OS Ubuntu 8.10 Intredid Server (amd64). However, the
installation fails with the following stacktrace:
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/git/repositories/gitosis-
admin.git/
Reinitialized existing Git repository in /home/git/repositories/
gitosis-admin.git/
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/gitosis-init", line 8, in <module>
load_entry_point('gitosis==0.2', 'console_scripts', 'gitosis-
init')()

tmp,
OSError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted
I found the rootcause: I run /home/git on a VirtualBox Shared Folder.
I use this setup since all my Shared Folders of the host OS are in a
backup plan. The git home folder is mounted using the vboxsf file
system type, which does not support symbolic links:

Is there a possibility of updating gitosis so the symlinking is not
needed?
