git push fatal: Not a git repository: '.'

Question

I can not understand, why 'fatal' is here? And really all commits are pushed.

oleg@shoom-gnome:(master)~/workspace/S4$ git push
Counting objects: 5, done.
Compressing objects: 100% (3/3), done.
Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 280 bytes, done.

Well, if /var/git/S4 on the remote is a git repository, then, perhaps, it's something happening in the hook script?

And, duplicating my comment to kmarsh's answer I've just upvoted: I'd recommend account@host:/var/git/S4 instead of url-like form for ssh.

Replace:

ssh://account@host/var/git/S4

with

ssh://account@host//var/git/S4

To get the full path instead of one relative to account's home dir.

uh... now I realized it looks weird. I'd suggest account@host:/var/git/S4 then instead of url-like form. The problem is, should git have gone this far if it was a wrong directory?
