A very belated reply, with some followup questions - At the time, I
ran out of patience trying to apply your fix, and have only just
decided to try again, after having made some more local commits.

So, my problem appears to be running "git push michaeltyson master",
instead of just "git push michaeltyson".  I don't really know what the
former even means, having long since forgotten why I was even running
it.  Looking at the command, I was thinking maybe it was trying to
push the original commit (the first commit of the remote branch) to
the repository, which being the first commit has no changes - am I
close?

Anyway, "git push michaeltyson" actually worked fine.

An aside - despite being on the 'michaeltyson/master' branch, which I
assume is the remote branch pointing at my fork on github, 'git push'
with no arguments complained that 'You can't push to
git://github.com/potionfactory/potionstore.git';.  That's the Push URL
for the 'master' branch, which I wasn't even on!  Why doesn't git know
to use the push URL for the current branch?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there's any problems with
the branches - michaeltyson/master is a remote, which seems to be
correctly formatted and named, according to the docs I've read and
their corresponding examples, anyway.  I chose not to revert to the
master branch as you suggested, as that took me straight back to the
original project, which I'd since forked.

So, after only a month, I've got it =)

Cheers!
Michael
