i modified the push arguments as there was no remote ref/branch
specified. With a fixed "git push", that line says:

  No refs in common and none specified; doing nothing.

i'd like to take this chance to inquire, what does the -f, plus square
brackets, really mean? i assumed it was to force push to go ahead even
if "a remote ref that is not an ancestor of the local ref used to
overwrite it" check fails.
