This is the wrong list for msysgit please see http://groups.google.com/group/msysgit My guess is that some other program (your virus scanner or IDE ?) is blocking writing on the index file. In msysgits git gui and the command line we have a retry fallback that asks you whether you want to try again. I do not know TortoiseGit I guess that they do not have such thing and just fail.
