Umm. What _have_ you done to that tree?

Hmm? Looks like you're _still_ using rsync to move git trees around, and
that is just not valid.

Please just do "git push" to push to master.  Use the "-f" flag if you
want to force it because you did bad things.  Don't use rsync.  rsync on
git repos is evil and wrong when there are other alternatives, and leads
to crap like the above.
