Hello all I'm trying to use git to version all the configuration files on a server: su cd / git init cd / touch k git add k #this works cd /etc git add hosts This fails with: fatal: Unable to create '//etc/.git/index.lock': No such file or directory I'm running git-1.7.3.2-1.fc14.x86_64. Is there any way to convince git to work in this scenario?
