wow i just realized you posted this in 2009 @_@
the solution is to fix the permissions in the actual repository folder (on
the server). since we are using gitosis, the repository (and ALL
subfolders/subfiles) must belong to the git user. do something like...
# chown -R git:git gitosis-admin.git/
hope this helps anyone else who runs into this thread! especially people
who need help in 2019 ;)

I'm trying to set up gitosis on my office server, but ran into some
problems when I tried to push changes.
Setup went fine, and I was able to clone gitosis-admin.git repository.
When I tried adding a user to gitosis.conf and push the changes I got
this error:
error: unable to create temporary sha1 filename ./objects/26:
Permission denied
fatal: failed to write object

Anyone knows what's up?
