I worked with SVN \nfor some time, but mainly as a client.\nNever the less, i wanted to set up some form of code repository for my \nworkplace and git seems to be a good fit.\n\nSo i installed git on our local development server here in our office. I \nam the only developer at the time, so i can do as i please. :-)\nThe Server is a debian machine, essentially only running a web server (I \ndevelop web apps), which webroot directory is also shared via samba with \nthe otherwise all windows network. The first Version of git i got from \nthe apt was an old one and after some struggling, i managed to update it \nto  1.6.0.3.g9f8f13. I also created my repository and installed EGit in \nmy eclipse 3.4.\nIn Eclipse, i linked to the samba Folder containing the code.\n\nWhen i try to commit changes via the command line, everything works fine \n(well, except for me not being able to use my keyboard right for \nentering the commit message, but thats probably not important because i \nwant to use EGit anyways).\nEclipse recognizes the repository and also displays changes i make. When \ntrying to commit, however, i get a permission denied error.\n\nSo, this is basically where i am stuck. What can be the problem and what \nwould be a solution? I assume, that i might have something to do with \nLinux users and privileges, but i am not yet versed enough to identify \nthe problem on my own.\n\nPlease keep in mind, that i am a complete beginner with these topics \nwhen answering.\n\nI would appreciate your help.\n\nbest regards\n\nBastian Flinspach\n"},{"id":"97087","messageId":"200812032021.57901.robin.rosenberg.lists@dewire.com","threadId":"16576","inReplyTo":"4936689B.1030903@gerina.com","subject":"Re: Problems with EGit","fromName":"Robin Rosenberg","fromEmail":"robin.rosenberg.lists@dewire.com","sentAt":"2008-12-03T19:21:57Z","receivedAt":"2008-12-03T19:21:57Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"robin.rosenberg@dewire.com","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/46357?v=4"},"body":"onsdag 03 december 2008 12:08:11 skrev Bastian Flinspach:\n\nHi Bastian,\n\n> When i try to commit changes via the command line, everything works fine \n> (well, except for me not being able to use my keyboard right for \n> entering the commit message, but thats probably not important because i \n> want to use EGit anyways).\n> Eclipse recognizes the repository and also displays changes i make.
