Hi,

Yesterday, I post a question regarding how to clone a git repository from 1 of my machine to another. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2808177/how-can-i-git-clone-from-another-machine/2809612#2809612

I am able to successfully clone a git repository from my src (192.168.1.2) to my dest (192.168.1.1).

But when I did an edit to a file and then do a 'git commit -a -m "test"' and then do a git push.

I get this error on my dest (192.168.1.1):

git push

error: failed to push some refs to 'git+ssh://[email protected]/media/LINUXDATA/working'

I have 2 version of git, will that causes this problem?

I have git 1.7 on 192.168.1.2 (src) but git 1.5 on 192.168.1.1 (dest).

I appreciate if someone can help me with this.

Thank you.
