How to resolve Git error: "Couldn't create temporary repository"

eclipse, eclipse-plugin, git

Solution

Assuming that you are on windows: Try to delete file C:/Documents and Settings/[username]/.gitconfig.

Problem

I am extremely new to the concept of Git. I installed the Git plugin for Eclipse and I'm now trying to clone a one year old Eclipse project. First, I was getting an error saying: ``` Cannot list the available branches. Reason-Exception caught during execution of ls-remote command. ``` I solved that by doing some ssh-related property changes. Now I am getting an error saying, ``` Couldn't create temporary repository. ``` How can I resolve this problem?
