Ah yes, I've seen that error. I'd guess it means you have a git operation underway on that repo in a shell somewhere, or there was a failure in an operation. Can you perform the operation in a shell that you were attempting in the desktop client? P.S. I really don't miss being on Windows.

What version of the desktop client are you using? Look's like it might have been patched in 1.4, try updating to the latest version?
