title: git push to remote repository "Could not read from remote repository"
body: <p>I searched for a while but I can't find a solution to my Problem.</p>
  
  <p>I have a Server I can connect to via ssh with the username <code>git</code> and a local git repository.<br>
  Now I want to push my local repository to a newly created one on the Server.</p>
  
  <p>Here is what I did:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>created a git repository in <code>/home/git/test.git</code></li>
  <li>initialized the repository as bare</li>
  <li>added the remote repository on the local machine<br>
  <code>git remote add test ssh://git@serverIp:/home/git/test.git</code></li>
  <li>now I executed the push command:<br>
  <code>git push test master</code></li>
  </ul>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>I always get the </p>

  <pre><code>fatal: could not read from remote repository

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am working on a local windows 7 machine and want to upload to a linux server.<br>
  I can log in via ssh with the <code>git</code> user.
  I also tried to do this as the <code>root</code> user(to get things to work once) with the same result.<br>
  I never get asked for the ssh <code>password</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I really don't know what I am doing wrong.<br>
  Before you call this a duplicate, I searched a lot for this problem and none seemed to talk about the same problem.</p>
  
  <p>update: </p>
  
  <p><ul>
  <li>"which git" returns /usr/bin/git</li>
  <li>PATH echo includes /usr/bin</li>
  <li>id_rsa and id_rsa.pub files are all set up and withput Passphrase</li>
  <li>ssh git@serverIp which git-receive-pack works too and returns /usr/bin/git-receive-pack</li>
  <li>ssh git@serverIp ls /home/git/test.git works</li>
  <li>all relevant directories are chmod 755</li>
  <li>git is owner of the repository</li>
  <li>auth.log file gets no new entries on tried push command</li>
  <li>GIT_TRACE=2 git push test master returns:</p>
