(.99 is just a placeholder for the default / development branch. The 
actual commit hash would be more relevant. But I assume you use latest 
head. I just updated the default branch with some fixes that had landed 
on stable. But probably nothing related.)

It works for me. I assume it also used to work for you. Something must 
be different...

kallithea/controllers/admin/repos.py:122 shows that a traceback should 
have been logged before showing the error page. Do you not have that 
further up in the log?

"None" is the top level repository. This log snippet seems to be from 
rendering the error page to tell you it failed. This is not where the 
actual creation failed. I don't think there is a problem here.
