msysgit group:

I was going to push a change into the mob branch, however I got this
error message:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /
$ git branch
  master
* net-installer

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /
$ git describe
Git-preview20080301-4-geab7442

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /
$ git push ssh://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/srv/git/msysgit.git net-installer:mob
To ssh://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/srv/git/msysgit.git
 ! [rejected]        net-installer -> mob (non-fast forward)
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/srv/git/
msysgit.git'

I looked in git-push documentation which says: "The string rejected
indicates that git did not try to send the ref at all (typically
because it is not a fast forward)." Does this mean that the branch has
to be rebased onto origin/mob? I tried that but I got the same failure
result. I also changed the protocol from ssh to git+ssh but I got the
same failure result.

Ok, this is obviously not what was shown in the "How to participate"
documentation, which was:

> Once you made some changes, you can even push into the 'mob' branch
> on repo.or.cz:
>   * git push ssh://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/srv/git/msysgit.git master:mob

Instead of making my changes on branch "master", I made a branch
"net-installer" and changed it all up, yo.

I want to be able to keep branch "master" the same as the remote
"master" and have multiple topic branches.

Best regards,
