The only output I get is:

warning: templates not found /tmp/git/share/git-core/templates
error: Unable to open
/ad/eng/courses/ec/ec464/ec464-team03/test.git/HEAD.lock for writing

ls -al in the directory gives me:
total 12
drwx------ 3 schoen root 4096 Nov 12 10:41 .
d--------- 7 root   root 4096 Nov 12 10:41 ..
-rwx------ 1 schoen root    0 Nov 12 10:41 HEAD.lock
drwx------ 4 schoen root 4096 Nov 12 10:41 refs

As I understand it, because we use Kerberos, permissions on everything
must be set to 700 at most.  I think the issue here comes from the
fact that git wants to use group permissions.  This is my guess.
