Clone works, remote push doesn't. Remote repository over copssh

I've "setup-a-msysgit-server-with-copssh-on-windows", following Tim Davis' guide and I was now learning how to use the git commands, following Jason Meridth's guide, and I have managed to get everything working fine, but now I can't pass the push command.

I have set the server and the client on the same machine (for now), win7-x64.

Here is some info of how things are set up:

CopSSH Folder     : C:/SSH/
Local Home Folder : C:/Users/rvc/
Remote Home Folder: C:/SSH/home/rvc/          # aka /cygdrive/c/SSH/home/rvc/
git remote rep    : C:/SSH/home/rvc/myapp.git # empty rep

At '/SSH/home/rvc/.bashrc' and 'Users/rvc/.bashrc':

export HOME=/cygdrive/c/SSH/home/rvc
gitpath='/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Git/bin'    
gitcorepath='/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Git/libexec/git-core'
PATH=${gitpath}:${gitcorepath}:${PATH}

So, cloning works (everything bellow is done via "Git Bash here" :P):

rvc@RVC-DESKTOP /c/code
$ git clone ssh://rvc@192.168.1.65:5858/SSH/home/rvc/myapp.git
Initialized empty Git repository in C:/code/myapp/.git/
warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository.

rvc@RVC-DESKTOP /c/code
$ cd myapp

rvc@RVC-DESKTOP /c/code/myapp (master)
$ git remote -v
origin  ssh://rvc@192.168.1.65:5858/SSH/home/rvc/myapp.git (fetch)
origin  ssh://rvc@192.168.1.65:5858/SSH/home/rvc/myapp.git (push)

Then I create a file:

rvc@RVC-DESKTOP /c/code/myapp (master)
$ touch test.file

rvc@RVC-DESKTOP /c/code/myapp (master)
$ ls
test.file

Try to push it and get this error:

rvc@RVC-DESKTOP /c开发者_StackOverflow/code/myapp (master)
$ git add test.file

rvc@RVC-DESKTOP /c/code/myapp (master)
$ GIT_TRACE=1 git push origin master

fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

"git: '/SSH/home/rvc/myapp.git' is not a git command. See 'git --help'." .. what?!

EDIT: RAAAGE!!

I'm having the same problem again, but now with ssh:

rvc@RVC-DESKTOP /c/code/myapp (master)
$ GIT_TRACE=1 git push
trace: built-in: git 'push'
trace: run_command: 'ssh' '-p' '5858' 'rvc@192.168.1.65' 'git-receive-pack '\''/
SSH/home/rvc/myapp.git'\'''
git: '/SSH/home/rvc/myapp.git' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

I've tried GUI push, and shows the same message.

git: '/SSH/home/rvc/myapp.git' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.
Pushing to ssh://rvc@192.168.1.65:5858/SSH/home/rvc/myapp.git
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Here's the currents .bashrc:

C:\Users\rvc.bashrc (I think this is used only by cygwin/git bash):

export HOME=/c/SSH/home/rvc

gitpath='/c/Program Files (x86)/Git/bin'

gitcorepath='/c/Program Files (x86)/Git/libexec/git-core'
export GIT_EXEC_PATH=${gitcorepath}

PATH=${gitpath}:${gitcorepath}:${PATH}

C:\SSH\home\rvc.bashrc (.. and this is used when git connects via ssh to the "remote" server):

export HOME=/c/SSH/home/rvc

gitpath='/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Git/bin'

gitcorepath='/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Git/libexec/git-core'
export GIT_EXEC_PATH=${gitcorepath}

PATH=${gitpath}:${gitcorepath}:${PATH}

EDIT 2: Some additional info:

rvc@RVC-DESKTOP /c/code/myapp (master)
$ ssh -p 5858 rvc@192.168.1.65 git-receive-pack /SSH/home/rvc/myapp.git
git: '/SSH/home/rvc/myapp.git' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

EDIT 3:

rvc@RVC-DESKTOP /c/code/myapp (master)
$ git push --receive-pack='git receive-pack' ssh://rvc@192.168.1.65:5858/SSH/home/rvc/myapp.git --a
ll

Has this did the trick??

git push is running 'git-receive-pack', and it should be 'git receive-pack' ?

My git version is 'git version 1.7.0.2.msysgit.0'

stupid fix (this changed /SSH/home/rvc/.gitconfig):

rvc@RVC-DESKTOP /c/code/myapp (master)
$ git config --global remote.origin.receivepack "git receive-pack"

rvc@RVC-DESKTOP /c/code/myapp (master)
$ git push

Found the answer...

GIT_SSH

If this environment variable is set then git fetch and git push will

use this command instead of ssh when they need to connect to a remote system. The $GIT_SSH command will be given exactly two arguments: the username@host (or just host) from the URL and the shell command to execute on that remote system.

To pass options to the program that you want to list in GIT_SSH you

will need to wrap the program and options into a shell script, then set GIT_SSH to refer to the shell script.

Usually it is easier to configure any desired options through your

personal .ssh/config file. Please consult your ssh documentation for further details.

I just had to delete the GIT_SSH var from the windows environment variables.

I've had it set because I was following Tim Davis' guide, but without using TortoiseGit, and the guide says to point the variable to TortoisePlink (step 4.4), so I assumed I had to pointed to plink.exe :P. O well.. moving to the next problem...

Thank you! I was also getting the error

git: '/pathToRepo/myRepoName.git' is not a git command See 'git --help'.
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

the git config command worked for me.

git config --global remote.origin.receivepack "git receive-pack"

I am running MSysGit-1.7.3.1

1) most often cause of this prob - Open a Git Bash window and type echo $HOME – ensure it is set to /c/SSH/Home/<user>/. If it is not – enter export HOME=/c/SSH/home/<user>

2) try the GUI interface [same prob?]
