git push failing with "fatal: .... does not appear to be a git repository"

[gphilip_bitbucket]

When I do 'git push' from my local machine, it hangs after printing out the following line:

"fatal: '/opt/micros/data/cvs/vp0646/data/d-369/r-19903369' does not appear to be a git repository"

I have confirmed that the local directory where I run 'git push' from, is indeed inside a local git repository. Also, the "/opt/micros/..." path is not present on my machine, so it must be something at the Bitbucket end.

What could I do to fix this? Thank you!

Update: This issue is resolved now, and 'git push' is working again as usual.

Since this is a top hit in web search for:
`fatal: '/opt/micros/data/not/on/your/machine' does not appear to be a git repository`

This is the error I was getting when bitbucket servers were down. The solution was to wait for atlassian to fix things on their side.

Thanks - I had a variant of this which said:

remote: Report this error code to support: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I didn't bother as I see they're having maintenance issues.
