Description Sasha Slijepcevic

I am trying to push changes to the remote, and I am receiving the following error messages:

Total 0 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
remote: error: Cannot lock the ref 'refs/heads/xdccore-E-sasha'.
error: Unable to create '/home/data/git/rtsc/org.eclipse.rtsc.xdccore.git/refs/heads/xdccore-E-sasha.lock': Permission denied
To ssh://sslijepcevi@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/rtsc/org.eclipse.rtsc.xdccore.git
 ! [remote rejected] HEAD -> xdccore-E-sasha (failed to update ref)
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://sslijepcevi@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/rtsc/org.eclipse.rtsc.xdccore.git'

What's causing it, and can I fix it from my side?

All Git repos have been migrated to Gerrit. So you need to use the new URL:

ssh://sslijepcevi@git.eclipse.org:29418/rtsc/org.eclipse.rtsc.xdccore
