I tried following the instructions on the gitlab docs ( https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/master/README.md#storing-git-data-in-an-alternative-directory) for moving gitlab data to a new directory. I copied the data out of the old gitlab data directory into the new location, modified `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`, and reran `sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure`. I copied with -rp to preserve permissions and all on the new location. And the gitlab-ctl did not error on me. When I try to push to a new repository though I get this error (I modified the path and my username, but otherwise this is the error). The path matches where I expected the repository to go. Indeed the folder that should have contained "newproj.git" is empty.
> git push -u origin master fatal: '/data2/path/to/repositories/user/newproj.git' does not appear to be a git repository fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. Thanks for your time!
