Describe what you would like us to do:

I'm performing an initial package update for a Rust compat package, rust-libcryptsetup-rs0.8, which will be providing a compatibility package for rust-libcryptsetup-rs version 0.8.0, as I build and release rust-libcryptsetup-rs 0.9.0, in a side tag.

(The Stratis project's upstream issue for this release is here: https://github.com/stratis-storage/project/issues/658 )

(The Upstream Release Monitoring BZ for rust-libcryptsetup-rs-0.9.0 is here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2238430 )

The repo was requested with this command: "fedpkg request-repo rust-libcryptsetup-rs0.8 --no-initial-commit --exception" ...and that may have resulted in something missing, as I was able to run "git push -u origin rawhide" for the initial Rawhide commit (as the remote had no branches set up), as well as "git push -u origin f39".

However, on trying to push the f38 branch, I see this:

$ git push -u origin f38
Total 0 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 0
remote: Unspecified ref refs/heads/f38 is blocked
remote: Denied push for ref 'refs/heads/f38' for user 'bgurney'
remote: All changes have been rejected
To ssh://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/rpms/rust-libcryptsetup-rs0.8
 ! [remote rejected] f38 -> f38 (pre-receive hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/rpms/rust-libcryptsetup-rs0.8'

...and I need to do an f37 release for this package, and fear I might encounter the same error for f37.

Is there something on the server side that's missing, preventing an F38 and F37 dist-git commit from being pushed?

When do you need this to be done by? (YYYY/MM/DD)

It would be nice if this could be done by 18:00 EDT (UTC - 4) on September 15, 2023, but if it needs to wait for a few days, that's not too much of a problem. The stratisd package may need the compat package to be available to continue building. (I say "may", because I haven't seen a failure yet, but the compat package is being created to avert a build failure of stratisd.)
