Cant clone/pull/fetch because of "Unable to create temporary file '$HOME/Dev/linux-stable/.git/objects/pack/tmp_pack_'

Cant clone/pull/fetch because of "Unable to create temporary file '$HOME/Dev/linux-stable/.git/objects/pack/tmp_pack_'

[Thomas Schweikle]

$ git clone
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git
linux-stable
Cloning into 'linux-stable'...
remote: Counting objects: 5932092, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (154131/154131), done.
fatal: Unable to create temporary file
'$HOME/Dev/linux-stable/.git/objects/pack/tmp_pack_XXXXXX': Permission
denied
fatal: index-pack failed

Since no file/directory created by git I cant tell why git isn't
able to create
"$HOME/Dev/linux-stable/.git/objects/pack/tmp_pack_XXXXXX".

If I try to create this file and directory I can create it:
$ mkdir -p $HOME/Dev/linux-stable/.git/objects/pack
$ touch $HOME/Dev/linux-stable/.git/objects/pack/tmp_pack_XXXXXX
$ ll $HOME/Dev/linux-stable/.git/objects/pack/tmp_pack_XXXXXX
-rw-rw-r-x+ 1 tps tps 0 May 15 00:18
/home/tps/Dev/linux-stable/.git/objects/pack/tmp_pack_XXXXXX
$

$ git --version
git version 2.11.0

Note the '+' at the end of the permission list. This means an acl has
been applied to this directory.

What does getfacl
'$HOME/Dev/linux-stable/.git/objects/pack/' return?

since non of "linux-stable/.git/objects/pack" is created, I can only
have a look at what acl the directories have if I create them:

$ mkdir -p $HOME/Dev/linux-stable/.git/objects/pack
$ LANG=C getfacl $HOME/Dev/linux-stable/.git

git should not have any problems creating files and folders …
but git wont even create linux-stable!
