error cannot create a folder folder_name? in git

Question

My git is not working properly.when i try to pull from the repository I get the following error

fatal error cannot create a folder project/abc/abc/abc/abc/abc...

when i try to push also I'm getting the same error.I cannot even merge.

git pull
fatal error:cannot create the directory project/abc/abc/abc/abc/abc...

git push
fatal error:cannot create the directory project/abc/abc/abc/abc/abc...

what is happening behind the screens?

thanks in advance

Try git pull from the root. You might not have permissions.

If you dont have the root enabled, you enable it.
