[mythtv-users] semi OT on git

[James]

Hi
I'm doing exactly as mythtv is: using a git branch for a version of the project, These branches will never be merged. Yet I do not understand why my stuff does not work. Is anybody a guru in this area please?
(Of course the obvious pull does not change this issue)

jam at farlap:~/SD/dvrutils> git push
To ssh://sandypit/~/dvrUtils
 ! [rejected]        HD2 -> HD2 (non-fast-forward)
 ! [rejected]        master -> master (non-fast-forward)
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://git@sandypit/~/dvrUtils'
hint: Updates were rejected because a pushed branch tip is behind its remote
hint: counterpart. Check out this branch and integrate the remote changes
hint: (e.g. 'git pull ...') before pushing again.
hint: See the 'Note about fast-forwards' in 'git push --help' for details.

(stackoverflow invited me to not ask this sort of question :-)
