I ran into this problem again. I backed up both repositories in full, ran the command above in the remote repository, and it did not fix the problem.

I deleted my local copy and cloned using ssh instead if git://, copied over the same changes and was able to push again. This looks to be my workaround.

If anyone wants to dive deeper into this problem, please let me know and we can fight it using the snapshots I have. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential information.
