Gitolite Error: gitolite-admin not a repo

Quick Note: Before anyone points it out, I did originally post this on Server Fault, but after doing so I realized this site may be more appropriate. Sorry for the "double post".

I had installed gitolite about 6 months ago and all of a sudden I started getting this error:

fatal: 'gitolite-admin' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

I have read a lot of other topics on this and done everything they suggested from removing the auth keys and adding a config file in ~/.ssh. Mine is below:

host myhost
   user git
   hostname myhost
   port 22
   identityfile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

host mygit
   user git
   hostname myhost
   port 22
   identityfile ~/.ssh/obto

Sadly, though, I'm still getting the fatal error. Does anyone have any ideas?

I solved this issue by doing what you just said: I create a file called config in my client machine:

vim ~/.ssh/config

Host 192.168.0.14
     user git
     hostname 192.168.0.14
     port 22
     identityfile ~/.ssh/userX

The userX file is your public file (userX.pub). Then I cloned the gitolite-admin repository in my client machine by doing:

**git clone 192.168.0.14:gitolite-admin**

Cloning into 'gitolite-admin'... Enter passphrase for key
'/home/userX':

Now you should enter the password of your key. And that's it. I hope this helps.

Regards.
