STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Simply try to run operation persist against more than 1 device.

- name: Network Resource Manager
  ansible.builtin.include_role:
    name: network.base.resource_manager
  vars:
    operation: persist
    ansible_network_os: cisco.ios.ios
    resources:
      - 'acl_interfaces'
      - 'acls'
      - 'bgp_address_family'
      - 'bgp_global'

    data_store:
      scm:
        origin:   
          url: "***"
          token: "***"
          user:
            name: ***
            email: ***

EXPECTED RESULTS

What I expect here is to have one branch with multiple devices - any respective updates should be in one single branch..

Currently it seems i can get it working by getting it to run in serial mode.. however this opens a new branch for each device which is not idea at all.
