I wanted to second @Fabio's comment to the original post - that solved it for me.

I'm running my own ad hoc local git server on Raspberry Pi. I forgot to chown the new bare repo, and pushing the first commit from a remote PC would just hang indefinitely.

This fixed it (running chown as root or with sudo):

cd /srv/git
chown git:git -R .git

Replacing with the name of your repo.
