Git Push Error: insufficient permission for adding an object to repository database

I've been doing some updates to a file, committing to a remote repo, then pulling changes from repo to a working copy i'm using as a staging site. I've made a couple of commits and pulled them this morning with no problem, but I just got the following error: error: insufficient permission for adding an object to repository database .git/objects - permissions on the file i'm committing (and the directory i'm pulling changes to) look correct, so i'm not sure where this issue could have come from - any suggestions?

Had some directories in .git/objects owned by root, so chowned to www-data and all fine now - thanks for the pointers – bsod99 Oct 10 '12 at 11:15
