I've a very strange bug on MacOSX 10.5 on a case sensitive HFS+ filesystem. git very regular show the following behavior: git op fails with an "error: Unable to append to $(FILE)" message, a "cat $(FILE)" and the same git op solves the problem deterministically. Here is an example: rlezuo@rlezuo:~/Projects/XXX/documentation$ git pull remote: Counting objects: 100, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (74/74), done. remote: Total 74 (delta 59), reused 0 (delta 0) Unpacking objects: 100% (74/74), done. From git@YYY.theobroma-systems.com:XXX/documentation cad9845..374115b fop -> origin/fop error: Unable to append to .git/logs/refs/remotes/origin/master 67f2dad..5812471 master -> origin/master Merge made by recursive. error: Unable to append to .git/logs/refs/heads/master fatal: Cannot update the ref 'HEAD'. rlezuo@rlezuo:~/Projects/XXX/documentation$ git pull error: Unable to append to .git/logs/refs/remotes/origin/master From git@YYY.theobroma-systems.com:XXX/documentation 67f2dad..5812471 master -> origin/master Merge made by recursive. error: Unable to append to .git/logs/refs/heads/master fatal: Cannot update the ref 'HEAD'. rlezuo@rlezuo:~/Projects/XXX/documentation$ cat .git/logs/refs/heads/ master ... rlezuo@rlezuo:~/Projects/XXX/documentation$ git pull error: Unable to append to .git/logs/refs/remotes/origin/master From git@YYY.theobroma-systems.com:XXX/documentation 67f2dad..5812471 master -> origin/master Merge made by recursive. error: Unable to append to .git/logs/HEAD fatal: Cannot update the ref 'HEAD'. rlezuo@rlezuo:~/Projects/XXX/documentation$ cat .git/logs/HEAD ... rlezuo@rlezuo:~/Projects/XXX/documentation$ git pull error: Unable to append to .git/logs/refs/remotes/origin/master From git@YYY.theobroma-systems.com:XXX/documentation 67f2dad..5812471 master -> origin/master Merge made by recursive. ...
