Most common scenario, happens often on irc, is you clone
repo A to repo B, make some changes, and push.  If all the
defaults (simplest case) are used repo A has "master"
checked out, and repo B then tries to push to that same
(checked out) branch.

So:
    mkdir A; cd A; git init; make-some-commits
    cd ..;git clone A B;cd B; make-some-other-commits
    # and then
    git push    # from master on B to master on A
