Re: [Rails-devel] Git repository is now available.

Erik:
thanks for the help.
I am getting close to what I intended, but I am not there yet.

Actually I had to use the push uri:
ssh://{username}@rails.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/rails/rails

Using the git protocol was not possible, as egit complained that it
does not support a username. 

I prefer not to use the synchronize perspective with git, as I wonder what it 
actually shows, as there are now two states of changes (changes not committed, 
changes committed but not pushed yet).

So my intended workflow to implement a new feature was:
A) Create a branch for that feature locally by cloning my local master which 
is itself a clone of the remote master.
B) Commit the changes in the local branch.
C) Push/merge those changes into my local master.
D) Push the changes from the local master into the remote master.

Unfortunately I was not able to push the changes to the master branch, I got a 
rejected error message for this (both on dry run and real). But my local 
master is up-to-date with the repo master.

However I was able to push my branch H_train into the repo and was able to 
push my committed changes there.

My ref spec for the push to the master is:
refs/heads/master:refs/heads/master

What have I done wrong? 
Maybe it is better to wait for Brett to help here, I do not want to break 
anything and he has daily working knowledge with git.

Stefan
