Let's assume you're part of a project X that uses git for version control on a server host.it. Due to historical reasons your login on machine host.it is 'eddyp'. You're also part of another project Y which is hosted on server host.me. In this project you have always used 'eddy' as your ssh login for the git push.
Now, project Y decides to change hosting and moves the repo on server host.it. Since the logins were also migrated, now you have login 'eddyp' for project X and login 'eddy' for project B.
You changed the URI in remote.origin.url, but you are faced with this error when pushing from project Y to server host.it:

Compressing objects: 100% (4/4), done.
Writing objects: 100% (4/4), 476 bytes, done.

error: unable to create temporary sha1 filename ./objects/56: Permission denied
fatal: failed to write object
error: unpack failed: unpacker exited with error code
The problem is that you are probably trying to login with 'eddyp' on server host.it from project Y since you ~/.ssh/config contains a 'user eddyp' clause for host host.it.
You can avoid this problem and identify to server host.it with different logins depending on the project via a small nice trick using fake hostnames in ~/.ssh/config:
Host eddyp.host.com
User eddyp
Hostname host.it
Host eddy.host.com
User eddy
Hostname host.it
And setting the remote.origin.url setting accordingly in the repo for project Y and project X:
eddy@projx $ git config remote.origin.url ssh://eddyp.host.it/srv/git/projx.git
eddy@projy $ git config remote.origin.url ssh://eddy.host.it/srv/git/projy.git
