The hints explain the problem. You will need to update your local repo.
Typically, I do something like
$ git fetch origin
$ git pull --rebase origin refs/heads/master
$ git push -v origin
This ensures that my local commits are pushed as fast-forward commits.
There is further explanation in the manpage for git-push entitled
NOTE ABOUT FAST-FORWARDS
