I had a local git project that I wanted to add to gitolite. Apparently this is hard so I abandoned the idea. I created a new gitolite repo by adding it to gitolite-admin/conf/gi

Your branch is based on 'origin/master', but the upstream is gone. (use git branch --unset-upstream to fix)
git branch --unset-upstream
