Gitolit 3 - Setting repo description (not authorized)

Question

I am using Gitolite 3.6

$ ssh git@host info hello you, this is got@Git running gitolite3 v3.6.1-6-gdc8b590 on git 1.7.10.4 [...] RW my_project [...] 

Following the documentation for setting up a repo description

 $ ssh git@host desc my_project "Machin chouette" FATAL: you are not authorized 

How can this be explained?

---

 git@host $ cat ~/.gitolite.rc [...] ENABLE => [ [...] 'desc', 'cgit', ] [...] 

Answer 1

I found what was missing by reading the desc command code (did not see it in the document)

 git@host $ nano ~/.gitolite.rc %RC = ( [...] WRITER_CAN_UPDATE_DESC => 1, [...] )
