After a break in regularly compiling git on my Mac 10.7.3 laptop, I had a few tests fail:  t5540.15, t5541.{12,15}.  All of these tests use test_i18ngrep to test the output of git-push for the string "To prevent you from losing history, non-fast-forward updates were rejected".

Bisecting traced it back to f25950f: "push: Provide situational hints for non-fast-forward errors".

I'm sending this off to the list in case someone else has some idea of the root cause.  I'll get back to this problem myself sometime tomorrow.

I also run 10.7.3 on a MacBook Pro. I will investigate this now and see
if I can get tests to break. I know the original patch passed the test
suite on this machine.

Ah ha, I wasn't running the proper tests. I'll send a patch to the
affected ones later today.

Please do so.  I assume that the test vectors were expecting specific
error/advice messages that need to be updated?

Looks to be the case. The below fixes the tests on my machine. It might
be worth adding tests to check the specific advice messages, but that's a
different topic and regardless wouldn't belong in the http-push series.
