forgive me as this is my first checkin using git. Something unexpected happened.
I was on the master branch and when ready I did "git push" and it unexpectedly told me the following: Counting objects: 50, done. Delta compression using up to 4 threads. Compressing objects: 100% (23/23), done. Writing objects: 100% (28/28), 2.89 KiB, done.

I did happen to have worked on DOGTAG_9_BRANCH as well but I did not expect it to be pushed as I was on the master at the time, although I was getting it ready as well. I just did not expect it to be pushed.
So does git push push everything even though you are not on that branch at the moment? Now I see something called Merge branch 'DOGTAG_9_BRANCH' of ssh://git.fedorahoste.. <http://git.fedorahosted.org/git?p=pki.git;a=commit;h=5314d049fadd54666dbdae7444b8134f8b98cba0> being pushed onto DOGTAG_9_BRANCH. Is it supposed to be?
I find it essential to control exactly which branch I push from and to. So what you want to do is git push <remote> <localbranch>:<remotebranch> Git push with no arguments...I have nevere done that so I can't say, but I suspect it pushes for each of you local tracking branches, so it depends on how you made the branch in the first place. What you want to do on DOGTAG_9_BRANCH is create a revert commit, that undoes the last commit, and then push that to the DOGTAG_9_BRANCH. There is some discussion about merges versus rebases, but I think the teams (IPA, DS and now CS) all want to go with the rebase approach. So before you push changes to DOGTAG_9_BRANCH you should do git checkout DOGTAG_9_BRANCH git fetch git rebase DOGTAG_9_BRANCH I like doing it as specific steps as I understand what each step is doing. checkout makes sure I am in the right local branch. git fetch pulls the changes down from the central repo to my local repo but makes *NO* changes to my local branch git rebase only makes the changes, and will warn if there are any errors. ONce that is done, you will be able to push using push origin DOGTAG_9_BRANCH:DOGTAG_9_BRANCH You probably shouldn't be pushing to master, unless you are working with Ade and Endi on some issue.
thanks, Christina
