Git and nasty “error: cannot lock existing info/refs fatal”

by

After cloning from remote git repository (at bettercodes)
I made some changes, commited
and tried to push: 

git push origin master

Errors with:

error: cannot lock existing info/refs
fatal: git-http-push failed

This case regards already existing repository.

What I did before, was:

  1. git config –global http.sslVerify false
  2. git init
  3. git remote add [url]
  4. git clone
  5. change data
  6. git commit

At ‘bettercodes’ I have no access to git log.

I’m using Windows.
The detailed error was:

C:\MyWorkStuff\Projects\Ruby\MyProject\>git push origin master
Unable to create branch path https://user:[email protected]/myproject/info/
error: cannot lock existing info/refs
fatal: git-http-push failed

I cloned before, then changed the code and committed.
