Hi
I almost always get this error when pushing from my PC to the bare
repository on my laptop. I'm running Cygwin on Windows 10. I've tried
everything! chmod -R 777, chown -R <my user id>, etc.
A few more details: I have a Git repository on my PC, and from that, I've
cloned a bare repository on my laptop, which I then used to clone a regular
repository on my laptop. The error occurs when I attempt to push changes on
my PC into the bare repository on my laptop.
If I delete the old bare repository on my laptop, I'm able to create a new
bare repository on my laptop from my pc, but then as soon as I try to push
to it, I get this error again. I've tried disabling the anti-virus, etc.
I've spent hours Googling solutions. Nothing works! Many others have had
this same issue. I never had this type of problem with SVN.
It would be nice if Git would say what's failing when this happens, and it
would be nice to get this bug fixed. It happens with all my git
repositories. I don't think it's a network issue or I wouldn't be able to
create a new repository on my laptop from my PC, as that would encounter the
same permissions issues.
The two machines are connected with an ethernet cable. I've done everything
I can to make sure all the Windows permissions are set correctly, etc.

Why is the remote end of the connection reporting the error that it is looking at "." (as opposed to a proper path/repo)? I could easily be wrong - I haven't double checked the man pages at all, but thought a comment may help your research. > error: remote unpack failed: unpack-objects abnormal exit To > //lylez-laptop/Users/Administrator/bare-repositories/Tradelab-bare-repositor > y.git/ > !

But I can't push to it. It seems that "clone" can access (create, actually) the remote repository, but "push" cannot access it effectively. [Philip] "If I understand correctly it must be in a URL format (e.g. file://) to ensure that you get distinct repos, rather than two interrelated repos (thought the docs discuss the issue as being the transport mechanism)." "file://" is for referring to a local file from within a web browser. "//" is how to begin a path of a file on a remote machine in Windows. After doing all of this, I created another test file on my laptop (filename: afile2.txt) in the repository on my laptop made by cloning the bare repository that I just created on my laptop, and added the test file afile2.txt to the cloned non-bare git repository, and then did a "git push" on my laptop (the remote machine) to the bare repository on my laptop (the remote machine). Then, back on my PC, I was able to do a git pull even though earlier I could not do a git push: lylez@LJZ-DELLPC /cygdrive/c/Users/lyle/documents/budget $ git pull remote: Counting objects: 3, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (2/2), done. remote: Total 3 (delta 1), reused 0 (delta 0) Unpacking objects: 100% (3/3), done. From //lylez-laptop/Users/Administrator/bare-repositories/budget-bare-repository + e9d5a3c...cd21f1d master -> origin/master (forced update) Merge made by the 'recursive' strategy. afile2.txt | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) create mode 100644 afile2.txt lylez@LJZ-DELLPC /cygdrive/c/Users/lyle/documents/budget $ ls afile.txt afile2.txt backup Budget.xlsx Joanne Scotland.xlsx lylez@LJZ-DELLPC /cygdrive/c/Users/lyle/documents/budget And there it is, the new file (afile2.txt). So Git is able to utilize the remote bare repository for cloning on the remote machine, and on the local machine (my PC) it can pull from the remote bare repository, but it can't push to it. [Philip] "The same issue probably applies to the subsequent clones of the bare repo." [Philip] "Perhaps focus on the error message and decide if "." is the correct way of thinking about the path." "." is the local directory on my PC that was initially cloned.

Have you managed any more investigation? Or tried upgrading to the latest release v2.24.x (which may provide updated error messages)? Have a careful review of error messages and see if you can correlate at least some of them with information you can find in your setup. e.g. the first part of the error stream is "remote: fatal: not a git repository: '.' " This means the remote system is sending you a message that it is looking at '.' and hoping that it is a repository, but it isn't. So why is it looking (within the remote) at '.' - is that path something you sent?, it is a misconfiguration at the remote?, etc. This may also be a bad interaction between cygwin and your Git (is it Git for Windows, or ..).

But I can't push to it. It seems that "clone" can access (create, actually) the remote repository, but "push" cannot access it effectively. [Philip] "If I understand correctly it must be in a URL format (e.g. file://) to ensure that you get distinct repos, rather than two interrelated repos (thought the docs discuss the issue as being the transport mechanism)." "file://" is for referring to a local file from within a web browser. "//" is how to begin a path of a file on a remote machine in Windows. After doing all of this, I created another test file on my laptop (filename: afile2.txt) in the repository on my laptop made by cloning the bare repository that I just created on my laptop, and added the test file afile2.txt to the cloned non-bare git repository, and then did a "git push" on my laptop (the remote machine) to the bare repository on my laptop (the remote machine). Then, back on my PC, I was able to do a git pull even though earlier I could not do a git push: lylez@LJZ-DELLPC /cygdrive/c/Users/lyle/documents/budget $ git pull remote: Counting objects: 3, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (2/2), done. remote: Total 3 (delta 1), reused 0 (delta 0) Unpacking objects: 100% (3/3), done.

So Git is able to utilize the remote bare repository for cloning on the remote machine, and on the local machine (my PC) it can pull from the remote bare repository, but it can't push to it. [Philip] "The same issue probably applies to the subsequent clones of the bare repo." [Philip] "Perhaps focus on the error message and decide if "." is the correct way of thinking about the path."
