The repo is proj/council-webapp.

$ git clone http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitroot/proj/council-webapp.git
works

Is it possible to improve the error message? I changed the summary to reflect this.

Where did you get that URL?

The URL on the overlays page clearly has .git on the end.
http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/council-webapp.git;a=summary

The message you get came from your git client, not from the server.

By extrapolating from the ssh url unsuccessfully. Yeah seems like the git usability sucks like usual.

The SSH url has .git on the end as well. Where did you get the SSH url without the .git?

gitolite doesn't need .git
