It is known that there are issues with the clone function from Sourcetree on Mac. However there is a workaround which works for me:

Steps:

• Remove Sourcetree completely from your local disk (incl the 2 data folders)
• Remove the GIT hub folders from your machine.
• Change in the Keystore your login password to something else.
• Reboot your system twice (2x)
• Now you can install Sourcetree again, but do not clone from your repository!!!
• Open a terminal and create your new (!) repository folder
• In the terminal move to this folder and clone the repository. Command: git clone <---repository-> . (Note the dot at the end!)
• Open finder
• Go to the parent of the repository folder
• Drag/drop the folder of your computer-repository into Sourcetree
• Reboot your computer again

This last step was needed for me to be able to perform PUSH.
