Installation: Impossible permissions requirements

Created by: danray0424

Installing on CentOS.

For SSH key resolution to work properly, /home/git (where gitolite lives) must be 700.

For gitlab to install, /home/git/repositories must be g+rwX, although it must be inside a g-rwX parent directory.

When /home/git is 770, I get: /home/git/repositories/............exists /home/git/repositories/ is writable?............YES git@localhost's password:

When /home/git is 700, I get:
/home/git/repositories/............missing

I can't for the life of me see how anyone could possibly be running this software, after encountering this. It seems entirely impossible to install, at this point.
