I created these repos which worked fine then I installed Windows 8 (from Windows 8 RC), the repos were in a different hard drive so they remained.

When I try to clone the repos now I get the following error:

git.exe clone –progress -v “E:\JabberRepo\broken\Jabber2”
“C:\Users\Ahmed\Desktop\Jabber2”

Cloning into ‘C:\Users\Ahmed\Desktop\Jabber2’… fatal: failed to copy
file to
‘C:\Users\Ahmed\Desktop\Jabber2/.git/objects/4b/345b002559536455b6766bc5cec27c09f661cf’:
Permission denied fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

git did not exit cleanly (exit code 128) (62 ms @ 16/12/2012 10:02:58
PM)

And similar ‘permission denied’ errors when trying to push to the local repo.

Any ideas how I can fix this?

    The problem is probably unrelated to git, but a windows issue. Your current user does not have access to E:\JabberRepo\broken\Jabber2. Can you open the folder and it’s .git folder in explorer?

    You need to change the file permissions as explained here.
