Hi: I just installed git in my Cygwin installation for the first time. The git version is 1.6.1.2, which is the latest version they have. When I enter one of the following commands: git --help git config --global user.name "Daniel Convissor" I get this error: fatal: Cannot change to /home/danielc/..: Permission denied Though "git --version" executes fine. I've been using Cygwin for many years and no other program has ever produced this issue for me. For example, svn --help, ls --help, etc work just fine. Why is git venturing into to the home directory's parent directory? Is this a bug? If not, is this really necessary? Thanks, --Dan PS: I'm not subscribed to the list. -- T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y data intensive web and database programming http://www.AnalysisAndSolutions.com/ 4015 7th Ave #4, Brooklyn NY 11232 v: 718-854-0335 f: 718-854-0409 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
