unpacking error

Hi

I almost always get this error when pushing from my PC to the bare repository on my laptop. I'm running Cygwin on Windows 10. I've tried everything! chmod -R 777, chown -R <my user id>, etc.

A few more details: I have a Git repository on my PC, and from that, I've cloned a bare repository on my laptop, which I then used to clone a regular repository on my laptop. The error occurs when I attempt to push changes on my PC into the bare repository on my laptop.

If I delete the old bare repository on my laptop, I'm able to create a new bare repository on my laptop from my pc, but then as soon as I try to push to it, I get this error again. I've tried disabling the anti-virus, etc. I've spent hours Googling solutions. Nothing works! Many others have had this same issue. I never had this type of problem with SVN.

It would be nice if Git would say what's failing when this happens, and it would be nice to get this bug fixed. It happens with all my git repositories. I don't think it's a network issue or I wouldn't be able to create a new repository on my laptop from my PC, as that would encounter the same permissions issues.

The two machines are connected with an ethernet cable. I've done everything I can to make sure all the Windows permissions are set correctly, etc.
