I did read that in the contributor's guide, and initially assumed by
"main repository" it meant "master branch" (though why wouldn't it say
that?).  But when I go to the Merge Requests page there is no "New Merge
Request" button as the gitlab docs say there should be.  Moreover, when
I try to commit my local branch (to a branch named dev/... per
instructions), it refuses to let me:

------------

% git push gitlab defineBarLine-doc:dev/expand-defineBarLine-documentation
remote: 
remote: ========================================================================
remote: 
remote: ERROR: You are not allowed to push code to this project.
remote: 
remote: ========================================================================
remote: 
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

I have "gitlab" correctly configured to point to the LilyPond gitlab
project---I can pull from it.  And I have an ssh key set up, and checked
that I can push like this to a different project that I own.

What am I missing??
