I am new to GIT, so i'm playing around with a repository and git is 
hanging on 'git push',
How can i find out what i'm doing wrong here?

D:\TEMP\test\test>git remote -v
origin  git://mini/test.git (fetch)
origin  git://mini/test.git (push)

D:\TEMP\test\test>git status

Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 3 commits.
   (use "git push" to publish your local commits)

 From git://mini/test
  = [up to date]      master     -> origin/master

D:\TEMP\test\test>git --version
git version 2.12.0.windows.1

D:\TEMP\test\test>

The git-server i'm using is on a mac-mini:
git --version
git version 2.10.1 (Apple Git-78)
