TransportError 'Operation not permitted' while branching

[Parth Malwankar]

Hello,

While creating a branch one a RHEL enterprise login I am getting
a TransportError with the -Derror output below. I do have permissions
into the user0/windata directory so things like copy/touch work.
I am not sure what to make of this error. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Parth
