The hashed path is something Gitorious uses on repositories created in the
"normal" way, it generates a path and then creates the Git repository on
disk in that location.
If you add the repositories manually (ie. by creating a script or using the
console), there are two things you should do:
- Set the hashed_path value for the repositories to be the location of the
repositories on disk, inside the repository root. If you have a repository
named "webkit" inside the "webkit" directory in your repository root, you
would set the repository's hashed_path to be "webkit/webkit"
- Once you're done adding the repository you need to set the ready field of
the database to true. This is how Gitorious internally determines whether a
repository has been created and is ready to be used.
Apart from these two points, the source code (or here, if someone feels up
to it) should guide you in the right direction. You need a project first,
and you should set the project field of the repositories you created to this
project object (eg. repository =
Project.find_by_slug("webkit").repositories.build ...).
