Is '~/.git' the name of the directory under version control? That could
be the cause of your problem: there is a directory with this name in
(almost) every Git repository, and it's used to store all version
control information. Git could be getting confused by this name.
I get
fatal: Not a git repository: .git
This points to the above explanation. However, it's odd that you can't
reproduce the problem reliably.
Notably, this only happens with files that are in subdirectories of ~
(but still tracked by the ~ repo), not with files that are directly
inside ~. E.g. it happens with ~/org/gtd.org, but not with ~/.gitignore.
Did that happen with files inside ~/org/gtd.org? Was the error message
the same?
When I restarted emacs to see if it had anything to do with my init.el,
the bug was gone again.
Yeah, I think we'll need a solid reproduction to fix it.
