Sync IDE Settings - some problems

Hi,

I like PHP-Storm (using it since version 4). But for a longer time my problem is, how to sync my settings between different PHPStorm - installations.

At first I tryed to use the sync of the jetbrains-account.

That works - but it is not so flexible. So I tryed to sync via my own git-server.

But very often I got the message "Commit on repo without HEAD currently not supported". Then delete the directory

c:\Users\cu\AppData\Local\Temp\Toolbox-HKXqGA\idea.config.path\settingsRepository\repository

After that, I can sync again.

Why this message (or better: how to avoid this error)?
