I'm working remotely over a VERY slow line.
When I do a push it starts out fine
but after the 15 seconds it takes to push
it fails with non-fast-forward merge.
So I pull (no merge needed, its fast-forward)
and try push again. Fails again.
I can keep this up for hours on end;
pushing, pulling, pushing, pulling.
Apparently there is fast and furious development
on the branch I'm on that during my 15 seconds
of pushing someone else on-site pushes and adds
new commits before mine can finish.
Is there anyway to lock the repository while
my push is going on ?
Please don't ask why I have a slow line
or why the volume of changes that I am pushing.
Suffice it to say its military work.

Git doesn't have any locking features.
Your best bet is probably to have someone with faster access merge your
branch, e.g., by pushing your work elsewhere (to another repo or just
a different branch) and then sending them an email asking for your work
to be merged.
If you have this issue a lot, the admins of your repo server could
probably arrange for a feature where you push to a special "please merge
this" branch namespace (such as incoming/martin-resnick), and the server
then does the merge for you using locking (and of course refusing if
there was any conflict).
However, it somewhat eludes me how you can generate churn on the order
of 2000 commits (8*3600/15) per workday *to the same repository*.
Perhaps the repository should be split into subprojects? Or at the very
least, the subprojects should be handled in different repositories, from
which an integrator pulls together the daily latest-and-greatest across
all subprojects?

Maybe try pushing a branch and then having a colleague with a faster
connection do the merge for you.

Your statements can only make sense if the pushed branch generates a
"non-fast-forward" is not the same branch that you pull. Show a transcript
of your commands, and in particular also tell your setting of push.default.

If the merge is fast-forward then you aren't really having anything to
push, are you? Are you sure you are pushing the right branch?

Aside from the other comments, you said, "someone else on-site
pushes and adds new commits before mine can finish." If I
interpreted that correctly, the "someone else" should also be
using a link as slow as yours. Why isn't he having the same
problem you are having?
If you can track that person down (his name should show up in
the new commits you pulled), compare your config files to see
what is different.
Bill
