Command line git attempted to perform the command "git init  /home/emanuel/git-test" and was not allowed to write to that location as the user that is running the Jenkins controller process.  

Jenkins runs as the user 'jenkins' when installed with the package manager on Ubuntu and Debian.  The user 'jenkins' does not have permission to write to '/home/emanuel'.

Let Jenkins control its own directories by using the default workspace assigned to Jenkins.  Don't assign it to write to /home/emanuel when its default is writing to a different location.
