At least in my current copy, this can only come from
// lock.c:1371
lockpath = mkpath("%s.lock", git_HEAD);
fd = open(lockpath, O_CREAT | O_EXCL | O_WRONLY, 0666);
if (fd < 0) {
error("Unable to open %s for writing", lockpath);
It prints an absolute path, so the open() also accesses an absolute
path (though I don't know why it insists on that).
But the above directory listing would indicate that you do not even
have permission to look inside your $(pwd) by absolute path...
