This error is telling you that Git doesn't think the remote location is a Git repository. It could be because it really isn't one, or it could be that the permissions are wrong.

It could also be that the repository is mostly there but very slightly corrupt and therefore can't be detected as one. For example, it could be missing its HEAD reference.
