The error message gives me the impression that git is trying to
interpret "scratch/igc" as a file path and not as a branch. So
that might be due to some uncommon/unexpected configuration on
OP's side.

Jean-Louis: what does the command

  git branch -a

say on your side?

You might have more luck by stating explicitly which branch you
want to track with

  git checkout -b scratch/igc --track origin/scratch/igc

(I'm now assuming that your upstream repo is called "origin" on
your side, which is convention, but no law).
