Answer 1

In my case git push was trying to push more that just the current branch, therefore, I got this error since the other branches were not in sync.

To fix that you could use: git config --global push.default simple That will make git to only push the current branch.

This will only work on more recent versions of git. i.e.: won't work on 1.7.9.5
