Thanks Harri.
Yeah, that did not work for me, either.

I've been through directory permissions on the workstations and servers, and the SELinux contexts on the server. I cannot find anything wrong with them. Do you know how to have git tell us what the actual problem is? `git -v pull` is not providing more information, like what the actual problem is (it just barfs).

Thanks again.
