Hi all, I am new to Git and I am getting quite frustrated with setting a repo on my server so that people with Windows machines can ssh to it and contribute.

This is what I am doing: On the server: #git --bare init Initialized empty Git repository in /opt/apps/git-test/

In tortoiseGIT I go to git clone, provide correct url: ssh://user@domain/opt/apps/git-test/ tortoiseGIT asks me for a password, I provide it, it's correct, the repository gets created on the local machine and...

fatal: '/opt/apps/git-test': unable to chdir or not a git archive Initialized empty Git repository in C:/path/.git/ fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly Failed

What happened there?
