Sorry to say this but everywhere I use cygwin (work, home) these days I run into trouble with the new permission system initially introduced at 1.7.35 IIRC. I just did this:
$ cd //some/server $ git init . $ git add statistik $ git commit error: invalid object 040000 ab9e237892aceba0cb7447b290bdcc7437967918 for 'statistik' error: Error building trees $ But: $ ls -ls .git/objects/ab/9e237892aceba0cb7447b290bdcc7437967918 4 -r--rwxr--+ 1 Administrators INA-DE01+Domain Users 365 Jun 22 16:59 .git/objects/ab/9e237892aceba0cb7447b290bdcc7437967918 Mounting the whole server directory noacl doesn't help. The only change is that vi doesn't complain that I am editing a readonly file when saving the commit message. On Stackoverflow I found a workaround (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6866913/git-commit-on-windows-cygwin-is-broken) $ git config --add core.createobject rename Thanks, Michael -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
