I have been having trouble with the following workflow.  I am trying
to push changes to a remote from a branch that is tracking it.

git clone git://mysite.com/data/git/linux-devel.git linux-devel

cd linux-devel

git remote add -m master -f linux-stable
git://mysite.com/data/git/linux-stable.git

git branch -r

  linux-stable/HEAD
  linux-stable/master
  origin/HEAD
  origin/master

git checkout -b stable linux-stable/master

git cherry-pick  b3b1eea69a   (a commit from linux-devel)

git push linux-stable

error: remote 'refs/heads/master' is not a strict subset of local ref
'refs/heads/master'. maybe you are not up-to-date and need to pull
first?
error: failed to push to 'git://mysite.com/data/git/linux-stable.git'

Thanks for your help,

Sean
