[jboss-as7-dev] Help with git push ssh:...

[Scott Stark]

So I'm trying to use the "Pushing changes to a public repository" 
proceedure from the git book, but run into the following error. Note 
that I did not first export the repository as a bare one as described 
earlier as I missed that. I just scpd the entire repo/workspace over to 
this box, did the JBAS-9151 work, and wanted to push that out to the copy.

The status of the remote repo is:

[root at ip-10-78-94-50 jboss-as]# git status
# On branch master
# Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 1715 commits.
#
nothing to commit (working directory clean)
[root at ip-10-78-94-50 jboss-as]#

I'll go through and re-export the local repo as a bare one and see if 
that works, but would setting receive.denyCurrentBranch=ignore or warn 
allow me to just update the remote repo for local use only? I'll never 
push or pull anything from it.
