Hi all,
Can anyone with more git experience help me understand what(if any) are the ramifications of the following commit message? I was attempting to push 1 commit (42aa525be2f00efa7777) to the release-3.0.0 branch. I've since pushed correctly to release-3.0.0, but want to know if anything else needs to be done to clean this up properly?

Before attempting to push local changes to the remote branch release-3.0.0, git status showed: # On branch release-3.0.0 # Your branch is ahead of 'origin/release-3.0.0' by 1 commit.
The erroneous commit was caused by this command:
git push origin release-3.0.0:origin/release-3.0.0 Counting objects: 32, done. Delta compression using 4 threads. Compressing objects: 100% (15/15), done. Writing objects: 100% (17/17), 2.84 KiB, done. Total 17 (delta 8), reused 0 (delta 0) To ssh://spinder@git.fedorahosted.org/git/rhq/rhq.git ef158c9..42aa525 release-3.0.0 -> origin/release-3.0.0
I'm confused by: - how 14 commits were sent even though I was only ahead of the branch by 1 commit. - what git tree was actually updated because release-3.0.0 does not show the erroneous message? - if I erroneously created a new remote branch, I can't see it?
Thanks in advance for your help.
