Yes, and I'd rather not disappoint those expectations.

Yes, it is allowed exactly for this purpose. When you want to redo/undo commits.

My understanding is that the GitMe installer already sets up a remote named "mob".

	$ git push mob

It automatically pushes the "master" branch to "mob". If you have to force the push, you'll have to do this:

	$ git push mob +master:mob

But please avoid this when possible, since you might well overwrite other people's work.
