Hi,

I am newbie to GIT and facing some problem with the GIT usage. I am trying to clone a repository at www.linux-mips.org with the following command, I get error message as below:

************************************************************************** [root@sshyamal git-tutorial]# git clone git://ftp.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/linux-malta.git linux-malta.git git: warning: invalid extra options ignored

git: fatal error: `chdir' failed: permission denied.
***************************************************************************

I am exercising this command in root mode. I have browsed through FAQs/archived mails but haven't come across appropriate solution to this. Can anyone please let me know the problem cause for this issue?

Thanks and Regards, Shyamal
