Problem solved ! I forgot to fix the permissions when tinkering with the 
hierarchy of my repertoires.
Would you please tell me if this looks reasonable :

```
  $ cd /home/git ; ls -ld /home/git ; ls -l /home/git
drwxr-xr-x  6 _gotd  _gotd  512 Jan 16 23:41 /home/git/
total 64
drwxrwxr-x  4 sylvain  _gotd  512 Mar 24  2025 geomant/
drwxrwxr-x  4 sylvain  _gotd  512 Apr 26  2025 nwpg/
drwxrwxr-x  4 sylvain  _gotd  512 Mar 11  2025 saboua.xyz/
drwxrwxr-x  4 sylvain  _gotd  512 Mar  4  2025 sylvain.sab.free.fr/
  $ find nwpg -exec chown sylvain:_gotd {} \;
  $ find nwpg -type d -exec chmod 775 {} \;
  $ find nwpg -type f -exec chmod 664 {} \;
```

(I don't know why, using a wildcard instead of `nwpg' fails on some 
files. Doesn't look problematic)

Here is the log (from /var/log/daemon) extract that gave me the hint :
`Jan 16 23:33:30 lap gotd[17363]: uid 1000: mkstemps: 
/home/git/nwpg/objects/pack/receiving-from-uid-1000.pack-FS7MmbR4sO: 
Permission denied

The final lines from got send -vvv

```
