Missing information about custom git-data directory
Please add the information, that the git-data directory MUST NOT contain any symlinks to the Readme.md and other places where it is contained in the documentation (also in the default config file).
It did cost me about 3 hours of investigations, why I was not able to clone my projects via HTTPS but only via SSH. (no complaint, just a hint that this is a small change with a huge benefit)
I found the information in gitlab-shell/config.yaml:
# Repositories path
# Give the canonicalized absolute pathname,
# REPOS_PATH MUST NOT CONTAIN ANY SYMLINK!!!
# Check twice that none of the components is a symlink, including "/home".
repos_path: "<here was some path containing a symlink, generated from my custom git-data directory that contained a symlink>"
