Hi,
I don't know if this helps you, but I found two strange things with your
history that I want to point out.

So you're running git on windows/os x and store the files on a shared
folder on Ubuntu? This will have some strange side effects.
Synchronization errors with the shared folder and the different file
systems used might cause a problem (or might not). This is a unusual
usecase and _very complex_ use case. I wouldn't be surprised if it
breaks (git have had several bugs on shared folders before).

My advise is to run git on the same machine as you store the git repo
on. Git should not be runned over a network (no matter if the network is
local on your computer or not).

Why are you trying to commit a file inside the .git dir? Files in that
dir should not be commited (and I'm pretty sure there was a patch about
this a while ago). The .git/config file for example is local to each git
repo and should not be commited.
