After I install gitlabhq using these scripts, when I try to browse the project it keeps showing me the instructions for how to create the initial repo and push it to the server.

It seems that the scripts aren't setting the correct permissions on the /repositories directory.

If I execute the following commands (taken from https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/wiki/Gitolite) then the web interface is able to view the commits

chmod -R 770 repositories/ for imported repositories
chown -R git:git repositories/
