"non-fast-forward" means that someone else pushed to branch test before you
did and your push would end up overwriting their changes. Make sure you
merge your local branch with the remote branch:

git pull origin test

It might also be a result of local destructive changes made by "git rebase".
If you're absolutely certain you will not mess up the remote branch you can
add the "--force" parameter when you push.
