I'm trying to create a local branch that tracks a remote branch. Here's what I get:

> git checkout master

> git push origin origin:refs/heads/myBranch
Total 0 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
To [email protected]:myrepo/myproject.git
* [new branch]      origin/HEAD -> myBranch

> git fetch origin

> git checkout --track -b myBranch origin/myBranch
warning: unable to unlink website: Operation not permitted
Branch myBranch set up to track remote branch myBranch from origin.
Switched to a new branch 'myBranch'

What does "warning: unable to unlink website: Operation not permitted" mean? Did everything work fine?
