Subject: error: cannot lock ref 'refs/remotes/origin/*'
Message-ID: <1213635227.17814.6.camel@localhost>

Hello list,

when running "git gc" I get the following error message as of late:

$ git gc
error: cannot lock ref 'refs/remotes/origin/*'
error: failed to run reflog

When I rsync the directory tree to another machine, I can run "git gc"
without any error messages. What exactly does this error mean? Why would
locking fail?

Thanks already,

nick
