Hello! I have a setup that may be a little bit unusual. Here's the story:
A while ago, I began developing a small Python application, intended to run on my Windows Mobile 5 PDA. I knew nothing about versioning systems, nor about Git, so I was just developing the... well, "blind" way. Everything went fine, I ended up with a working piece of software, which I copied to my PDA and used it. Obviously, sometimes I find bugs, or I want to add new features. After learning about VCSes and became familiar with Git, I imagined I could create a repository on the PDA as a "remote" repo, and have another one on the computer (my laptop running Fedora 12). Then I could make changes on both devices (yes, sometimes I edit the source right on the PDA, for quick hacks or fixes) and sync them with pushes and pulls. Now the real problem appeared when I tried to "git init" on the PDA. Normally, I accessed the source folder on the PDA using ObexFS, which mounts a folder via Bluetooth. I set it to mount that folder in /home/ camil/RSHPRX (the name of my PDA). But when I open a terminal there, and run "git init", it stays idle for a while (Bluetooth is slow, of course), then outputs the following: [ca...@rshp RSHPRX]$ git init error: could not lock config file /home/camil/RSHPRX/.git/config: File exists error: could not lock config file /home/camil/RSHPRX/.git/config: File exists error: could not lock config file /home/camil/RSHPRX/.git/config: File exists error: could not lock config file /home/camil/RSHPRX/.git/config: File exists Initialized empty Git repository in /home/camil/RSHPRX/.git/ The folder now indeed contains a .git folder that appears to be OK on the inside. But when I try a "git status", I get this: [ca...@rshp RSHPRX]$ git status fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git I unmounted and remounted the folder, but no changes. The .git folder is always there, but Git can't see it? When the PDA folder is mounted, I become the owner of the files inside it, and they all have -rw-r-- r-- permissions (folders get drwxr-xr-x). It doesn't look like a permission problem. Does anyone have an idea? Cheers! Camil -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
