Research direction

Start with the create_push call and the authentication configuration that supplies the Azure DevOps client. Read the traceback locations in azure/devops/v6_0/git/git_client_base.py and azure/devops/client.py, then reproduce the request and establish whether the failure is in client behavior or authentication setup.
