Hmm where is your git repository? That does not look like a git repository's path.

I guessed you put your repo in .../repo/.git, but I was probably wrong. Try setting again, pointing GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY to the "objects" directory inside your repository. I just want to make see if it's because git miscalculates this path. If setting the env variable works, then it probably does.
