"remote: You need 'Create' rights to create new reference" when pushing to Gerrit

[Peter Lemenkov]

Hello All,
It seems that after the switch to a new UI some bits were missed in transition.

Sulaco ~/work/coreboot (git::lenovo_z61t_no_ctrl_swap): git review
remote: error: branch refs/publish/master/lenovo_z61t_no_ctrl_swap:
remote: You need 'Create' rights to create new references.
remote: User: lemenkov
remote: Contact an administrator to fix the permissions
remote:
remote: Processing changes: refs: 1
remote: Processing changes: refs: 1, done
To ssh://review.coreboot.org:29418/coreboot
 ! [remote rejected]       HEAD ->
refs/publish/master/lenovo_z61t_no_ctrl_swap (prohibited by Gerrit:
not permitted: create)
error: failed to push some refs to
'ssh://[e-mail]:29418/coreboot'
Sulaco ~/work/coreboot (git::lenovo_z61t_no_ctrl_swap):

I didn't change anything - so I guess the issue is on the Gerrit's side.

Hello Peter,

I have experienced the same issue recently. It looks like Gerrit no
longer accepts the old push target branch.
Some days ago Gerrit accepted the 'refs/publish/master', but now it only
accepts 'refs/for/master'.

According to https://www.coreboot.org/Git 'refs/for/master' is the right
branch. To fix this, run:

git config remote.origin.push HEAD:refs/for/master

git config branch.<particularbranchname>.remote origin

Then everything should be ok.

Best regards,
Michał

Unfortunately this didn't work for me. I guess there should be something else.

You may have to revisit the git review alias. Maybe it hardcodes the
refs/publish path?

Michal is correct in that this path was removed by the Gerrit developers.

remote: error: branch refs/publish/master/lenovo_z61

Hello All!
I've finally fixed everything. Patrick's suggestion was right - it was
a compatibility issue in git-review script I'm using. It is maintained
by OpenStack developers and the fix was introduced in 1.27.0 version:

https://docs.openstack.org/infra/git-review/releasenotes.html#relnotes-1-27-...

I've upgraded it and everything works fine again!
