Most common scenario, happens often on irc, is you clone repo A to repo B, make some changes, and push. If all the defaults (simplest case) are used repo A has "master" checked out, and repo B then tries to push to that same (checked out) branch. So: mkdir A; cd A; git init; make-some-commits cd ..;git clone A B;cd B; make-some-other-commits # and then git push # from master on B to master on A -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
