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 ", 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
