I have a repo on another disk that I ONLY use to backup my in-use local repo. I have a post-commit hook that does the push (git push -- all remote-repo-name) >git commit -a -m 'some change' Counting objects: 71, done. Compressing objects: 100% (26/26), done. Writing objects: 100% (29/29), 2.31 KiB, done. Total 29 (delta 12), reused 0 (delta 0) Unpacking objects: 100% (29/29), done. To file:///Volumes/Git/pose/main 22d7f10..0037aaf bimonthly-frequency -> bimonthly-frequency ! [rejected] master -> master (non-fast forward) error: failed to push some refs to 'file:///Volumes/Git/pose/main' Created commit 0037aaf: Removed assertion that made no sense. 1 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) I'm using git as a front-end to Subversion, but I can't figure out why this is happening. The repo at /Volumes/Git/pose/main is NEVER pulled from or pushed to by anything other than my hook. I can't understand why any push to it would NOT be a fast-forward. Any ideas how I can figure out what's going on? -- 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
