The error message tells you that

 (1) directory you are in (u-boot.git) does not have a ref that
     matches "master".  Do you have the "master" branch?

 (2) remote repository at 10.99.22.20:/home/.../my-git.git does
     not have a ref that matches "master".

The problem on your end must be fixed first.  Then once you have
the master branch in u-boot.git directory (I presume
~/public_html/u-boot.git/.git/refs/heads/master would be the
file you would need to see), then the problem on the other end
needs to be dealt with.

If you are creating a branch over there afresh, you need to
spell it out, like this:

	$ git push 10.99..:.../my-git.git master:refs/heads/master

After you have done that once (hence creating
/home/aubrey/public_html/my-git.git/.git/refs/heads/master file
over there), you can do the command line I quoted at the
beginning of this message.
