Hi,

may please somebody help me with the following issue. I try to checkin 
changes to a repository I created. Seems like I have some permission 
problems, but I can't figure out whats going wrong:

$ git commit -m 'test'
Created commit 07b3a4a: test
 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-)
$ git push
Counting objects: 8, done.
Compressing objects: 100% (6/6), done.
Writing objects: 100% (6/6), 1.56 KiB, done.
Total 6 (delta 4), reused 0 (delta 0)
error: insufficient permission for adding an object to repository 
database ./objects

fatal: failed to write object
error: unpack failed: unpacker exited with error code
To /homes/[...]
 ! [remote rejected] master -> master (n/a (unpacker error))
error: failed to push some refs to '/homes/[...]'


Thanks,
Dominic

That's a filesystem permissions problem on the server side. You'll have
to check if your user has permissions to write to the objects subdir of the
repository.

Make sure you have permission to create new files and directories in
/homes/[...]/objects and that you have permission to create new files in
all directories that are already in /homes/[...]/objects.
