Not only that, but the "ahead of tracked branch" message depends on your local copy of the remote branch, not the remote copy of the remote branch. So after pushing, you have to do: git fetch origin I've often wondered if we can't just have push refetch the updated remote ref automatically. It's extremely hard to explain to newbies that after a push, the order of refs from newest to oldest is 'origin master', 'master', and 'origin/master'.
