Problems pushing a repo [message #756347]

I get this error when I try to push a local repository to a remote (bare) repository with Egit:

Repository git+ssh://xxx@yyy.org.uk/data3/guest/xxx/git/testrepo

hook declined
* Project description file hasn't been set
error: hooks/update exited
with error code 1
error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master

What's going on?

Also - When does eclipse forget the passphrase for the SSH key being used?

Looks like the server you are pushing to has some hook installed preventing pushes which don't have a project description file. Talk to the administrator of this git server to find out what this means.

That was it. It was an old version of git that was installed and installing the current version for the user seem to have fixed things.
