If memory serves that happens when you make a read-only checkout, i.e. with a git:// url or otherwise without using your savannah account name over ssh://, and then try to push a change back. There is same magic to tell git that the origin has moved to a new (i.e. ssh://) url if you are prepared to backup, google a bit, experiment a little, and swear a lot... Whenever I've done that I always `git format-patch` from the read- only tree, checkout out a fresh working copy, and then apply the stack of patches from the broken checkout. HTH, -- Gary V.
