How do you safely push to the repository? Even if my receiving repository is pristine (the last command I do is a commit), after I push into it, some files in the work-tree are effectively out of date and git says so by thinking they are modified and staged for commit. My original set of example commands illustrates this. What set of commands do you use to avoid the problem?
