How do I get more info here (and hopefully resolve this)?
% git push To ssh://server/foo/repo.git ! [rejected] test -> test (non-fast-forward) error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://server/foo/repo.git'

"non-fast-forward" means that someone else pushed to branch test before you did and your push would end up overwriting their changes. Make sure you merge your local branch with the remote branch:
git pull origin test
It might also be a result of local destructive changes made by "git rebase". If you're absolutely certain you will not mess up the remote branch you can add the "--force" parameter when you push.
Re: push fail
Thanks.
Yeah, I should've thought to do a pull....

You probably have a configuration that disables advices (look in ~/.gitconfig for an [advice] section. If you're a beginner, you probably shouldn't deactivate these advices).
Git normally says something like this:
To /tmp/git ! [rejected] branch3 -> branch3 (non-fast-forward) error: failed to push some refs to '/tmp/git' hint: Updates were rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind hint: its remote counterpart. Merge the remote changes (e.g. 'git pull') hint: before pushing again. hint: See the 'Note about fast-forwards' in 'git push --help' for details.
The latest version says this which you may find clearer:
To /tmp/git ! [rejected] branch3 -> branch3 (fetch first) error: failed to push some refs to '/tmp/git' hint: Updates were rejected because the remote contains work that you do hint: not have locally. This is usually caused by another repository pushing hint: to the same ref. You may want to first integrate the remote changes hint: (e.g., 'git pull ...') before pushing again. hint: See the 'Note about fast-forwards' in 'git push --help' for details.
