I've a small project that I want to share with a few others on a machine that we all have access to. I created a bare copy of the local repo with

git clone --bare --no-hardlinks path/to/.git/ repoToShare.git

I then moved repoToShare.git to the server.

I can check it out with the following:

git clone ssh://user@address/opt/gitroot/repoToShare.git/ test

I can then see everything in the local repo and make commits against that. When I try to push changes back to the remote server I get the following error.

*** Project description file hasn't been set
error: hooks/update exited with error code 1
error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master

Any ideas?
