I found a bug in git-cola v1.38. I had a local branch named "X" that
was making track of a remote branch with different name, "Y". When I
try to do a "git push" (commit tab), I must select the local branch
and a remote branch to be pushed to. But when I click on "push"
button, an error message appears, saying that "refspec Y not found".
Of course it was not found, since I don't have a local branch named
"Y", only remote!

The solution I found was to invert the branches: on the local branch I
put "Y" and on the remote I put "X". It worked that way: the push was
made correctly from local "X" to remote "Y".

I think there is a bug on translating GUI to the git command: local
branch and remote branch are inverted.

This has been fixed in the latest maint and master branches.
I'll be issuing an update to the 1.3.9 release tonight.
Thanks for the report and diagnoses.
