since non of "linux-stable/.git/objects/pack" is created, I can only have a look at what acl the directories have if I create them:

$ mkdir -p $HOME/Dev/linux-stable/.git/objects/pack $ LANG=C getfacl $HOME/Dev/linux-stable/.git getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names # file: home/tps/Dev/linux-stable/.git # owner: tps # group: tps user::rwx user:root:rwx user:500:rwx user:nobody:--- group::rwx group:uuidd:rwx group:crontab:r-x mask::rwx other::rwx default:user::rwx default:user:root:rwx default:user:500:rwx default:user:nobody:--- default:group::rwx default:group:uuidd:rwx default:group:crontab:r-x default:mask::rwx default:other::rwx

git should not have any problems creating files and folders … but git wont even create linux-stable!
