Github, how to debug "failed to refresh the working directory"

Question

I am using the newest GitHub for windows, and this occasionally happen always suggesting I debug the repo in shell. I am looking to learn how to do this debug Is there any source that explains all (or even most) common problems that would cause this? The repo seems ok when used from command line.

The specific case that is driving me crazy now is a Heroku project I'm trying to work on with a friend who uses Mac. Not sure if that is related, and I want to learn how to debug the general case, but any tips here would be useful as well

Answer 1

Running GitHub with administrator rights resolved the problem as well :)
