I am on RedHat Linux Server 5.7, installed git and all worked great.
Performed a "git add ." and sat back and watched it chew up GB fo data and create the .git repository, which I was going to study. But then I decided to delete the .git repository before the commit, and redo the work after I added additional files to the filesystem.
The git application no longer works. I have done a complete deletion of all files that I know of and a complete reinstallation and yet every time that I attempt to get git to reread the directory and recreate the repository or ANY repository on the system even while root the error message is:
[root@localhost wizdom]# git add . fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
Any idea on how to fix this problem so that I can get on with using git?
Wizdom is a dir of management information systems related files, 29.4GB in size, containing 264380 files, for systems administration and when git had complete the add command it had create a dir /home/Object/wizdon/.git that was 26.1GB in size and with 212774 files in 256 sub-folders.

Just to see what it would do, or what it does, I ran git against my systems administration collection called wizdom on a Dell T-410 with one socket in use.
[root@localhost git-1.7.7]# git --version git version 1.7.7 [root@localhost wizdom]# git init Initialized empty Git repository in /home/Object/Desktop/wizdom/.git/ [root@localhost wizdom]# git add . [root@localhost wizdom]#
And in another window while "git add ." ran, I execute the top command to see what the processor had to say:
