I don't know if my account is just missing necessary permissions, or if this is actually a bug in the code or something, but attempts to create a new repository always fails.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Navigate to https://chiselapp.com and log in.
  2. Click header nav bar link to "Create new repository" page. /secure/repository/create/
  3. Fill in repo name, repo password, enter project code from my existing local repo, check "Use SHA3 for initial commit."
  4. Click "Create Repository".
  5. See error message:
