git - unable to create temporary file: no such file or directory - only for certain files?

Question

I\'ve got a strange issue here with one of my git repositories. I cannot add certain files. Git states:

$ git add Konstrukti

Answer 1

This worked for me:

export TMPDIR="/tmp/"

Yep, seriously. No idea what this actually did, but it worked, so I'm not exactly complaining. This might be a fix that only worked for me, because I can't reproduce the problem now that I've fixed it.

If the problem recurs when you relog, put it at the bottom of your ~/.bashrc.
