How do I recover from pushing a gitosis.conf file with parsing errors due to line breaks?
- by Kasia
I have successfully set up gitosis for an Android mirror (containing multiple git repositories). While adding a new .git path following writable= in gitosis.conf I managed to insert a few line breaks. Saved, committed and pushed to server when I received the following parsing error:
  Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/bin/gitosis-run-hook", line 8, in 
      load_entry_point('gitosis==0.2', 'console_scripts', 'gitosis-run-hook')()
  
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gitosis-0.2-py2.5.egg/gitosis/app.py", line 24, in run return app.main()

      self._read(fp, filename)

      raise e
  
  ConfigParser.ParsingError: File contains parsing errors: ./gitosis-export/../gitosis.conf
  
  (...)
I have removed the line break and amendend the commit by
git commit -m "fix linebreak" --amend 
However git push still yields the exact same error. It leads me to believe gitosis is preventing me from doing any further pushes.
How do I recover from this?
