```
1. If shell-file-name points to a shell on the local machine but not
   on the remote server, a remote magit-status fails.  I had to
   create a symlink from /bin/bash to /usr/local/bin/bash on my
   FreeBSD server before it would work

2. Any attempt to stage changes fails for me.  I get a "Git Failed."
   message and see this in the *magit-process* buffer:

  $ git --no-pager add -u .
  fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

Any clues for me?

TIA,
