Bug Description

This keeps tripping me up while Q/A-testing Launchpad changes. If I push a branch where I don't have privileges to do so (usually to staging) the error I get is "read-only transport." But there's nothing wrong with the transport; the real problem is with where I'm transporting _to_, so to speak.

In this situation I would have expected something like "permission denied."

Please give an actual specific example command, including the url, when you file a bug.

I was sure this would be a dupe, but apparently not.
