I'm coding with two other friends and we're all using the same repository. For some reason, git randomly fails for me, and only me.
error: insufficient permission for adding an object to repository database .git/ objects
What's intriguing is that we noticed that when friend A pushes his code, I don't get this error anymore, and I can happily push my code as well. Now when friend B pushes his code, all of a sudden, I see this error again.
This is extremely bizarre -- what am I missing here?
Possible ideas:
Your git repository is not configured as shared.
Your directory permissions are not quite right, and depending on who creates what subdirectory of .git/objects, you may or may not have write permission. (This problem can be especially acute if your file server is configured not to honor group sticky bits on directories. I got bitten by this one and it still stings. As far as I know, if your server is configured this way, it's not possible for multiple users in different groups to push to a single git repo.)
It would be especially useful to know on which OS and filesystem your repo is stored and how the permissions are set up.
