I tried John Keeping's suggestions on setting TMPDIR to some known location, but I continue getting the same error about "Can't open '/tmp/report.tmp': Permission denied..." both in cmd.exe and within the bash.exe that comes with msysgit. In additional peculiarity from my testing, if I point a true Linux shell at the same network-mounted drive, it seems to work just fine: tim@host:/tmp$ git svn clone file:///mnt/svnroot/trunk/utils/project1 tim@host:/tmp$ git --version git version 1.5.6.5 (yeah, that's a REALLY ancient version of git on an old Debian Lenny box, but if *that* works, 1.8.x shouldn't have ANY trouble with it) Any further ideas? -tkc -- 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
