It also doesn't work when I run it against the full Dropbox repos directory. Dropbox may have a lock on writing to the directory?
~/Documents/workspace/test-git:12:24$ git remote rm origin ~/Documents/workspace/test-git:12:24$ git remote add origin git@gitserver:/opt/Dropbox/repos/someproj.git ~/Documents/workspace/test-git:12:24$ git push origin master fatal: '/opt/Dropbox/repos/someproj.git' does not appear to be a git repository fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly ~/Documents/workspace/test-git:12:24$ On Monday, 1 July 2013 11:57:57 UTC-4, Dennis Chang wrote: > > Hi all, > > This may have been answered a few times already.
