Git push fail over mounted windows dir

On Windows, pushing to a git repo which is mounted on a novell shared drive, I keep getting this:

remote: error: unable to create temporary file: File exists
remote: fatal: failed to write object
error: unpack failed: unpack-objects abnormal exit

Things I've tried

Any more ideas?
(it's ok, I was lying about the table)

UPDATE

The same operations, pushing to a repo that's actually on my local hard disk, work just fine. So this would appear to be a Novell issue. Any suggestions on how to solve that would be appreciated, but if all else fails, at least I know I can use a different remote protocol.

Had very similar problem with having a repo on a mounted Novell network drive. For me even git add . reported same error as yours. Installing the new version of Novell client completely solved the issue. I hope this helps someone who comes across this problem in the future.

p.s. This is apparently a Novell-Windows-NTFS-MinGW issue only on a certain version of Novell. Here are details, if you are interested: http://git.661346.n2.nabble.com/Problem-pushing-to-a-Novell-share-td7248875.html
