Looking at the log I see that 56032c4f35fd39fe4151fca2d010d299a8901101 is HEAD on orgin, and 2b0da4aabfba6c61baf9f351b2dfbd5a88a8a999 is what I tried to commit when I got the initially error. I will catch the howto when git.or.cz is back online. If anyone wants some data before I try to fix my repository please let me know soon.
