I cloned git://github.com/symfony/symfony.git to C:/git/test-root and then cloned C:/git/test-root twice to C:/git/test-clone and C:/git/test-clone2. I modify the README file in C:/git/test-clone, stage it, commit it and then try to push it to C:/git/test-root and get this message:

To prevent you from losing history, non-fast-forward updates were rejected
Merge the remote changes before pushing again.  See the 'non-fast forward'
section of 'git push --help' for details.
Pushing to C:/git/test-root
To C:/git/test-root
 ! [rejected]        master -> master (non-fast forward)
error: failed to push some refs to 'C:/git/test-root'
What does that even mean?
