Hello Git list,
 Found a minor bug in git today - the error message reported is not
correct when trying to access a repo that is not accessible
permission-wise:
> federico@skyplex:/etc$ git log
> fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
with correct access permissions, everything works as expected.
