fatal: unable to access 'H:\/.config/git/config': Invalid argument [Git on Windows 7]

Question

I get this error when opening a git repository:

fatal: unable to access \'H:/.config/git/config\': Invalid argument

Where in git is this path being pulled from?<

Answer 1

As some people are saying this seems to be an issue with HomeDrive and HomePath when using network drives.

For me this was solved by running my git commands as admin.
