One of my coworkers is having a problem pushing changes from git on his machine. If he logs into another machine, he can push just fine – but from his machine, when he tries to push he gets the following error

     D:\Projects\test1\best-practices>git push     Counting objects: 4, done.     Compressing objects: 100% (2/2), done.     Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 273 bytes, done.     Total 3 (delta 1), reused 0 (delta 0)     error: unable to create temporary sha1 filename ./objects/42: Permission denied      fatal: failed to write object     error: unpack failed: unpacker exited with error code     To //civ3s012/gitrepos/best-practices/.git      ! [remote rejected] master -> master (n/a (unpacker error))     error: failed to push some refs to '//civ3s012/gitrepos/best-practices/.git'

The server is a windows machine, as is the client. No one else is having this problem – it seems to be a server permissions issue, but we’ve ruled that out as far as we can tell. Also, the fact that he can log into a different machine and push, using the same username, makes it seem like it’s not server permissions. Any ideas what could be going wrong here?

  1. I’m not a windows user so I’m stabbing in the dark a little here. It looks like the remote file system is mounted and you’re just pushing to that (not using ssh:// or git://). Is that FS somehow mounted readonly? Can he create/modify files on there (outside of git)?
