Subject: git error : Unable to write new index file
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2009 15:36:39 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <829ded920908280306p50ec375dr90f6593fc6b9ea06@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello all,
I have just started using git for a small project. I have
created empty repository using "git init" and it worked fine.
But after that when I have tried to add a file to the repository
using "git add <file_name>", I am getting the below error.
> fatal: Unable to write new index file
The same error appears not only when adding files but also
whenever I add something (file, branch etc. ) to git repository.
I am using git on windows using cygwin and I have all permissions
(rwx) in the directory where I am running this command. Can anyone
please help me in resolving this issue ?
Thanks,
Mahesh
