Report a clear error when git authentication fails

Nico, Anita, and I all ran into this problem: DROID is running as root. It runs git
as root to checkout a new branch (create-branch
). My /root/.gitconfig
was set to use gh
for authentication. My gh
auth had expired. But we don't really need any authentication to checkout a branch locally.
The error is reported in the logs, but it was hard to interpret the message.
I would like a clearer message on the page with instructions to fix.
Alternatively, it might be possible to avoid the error, maybe by running git
with default configuration?
