commit already exists (in the project) in gerrit version 2.9.4

[mrutyunjay]

Hi All,

         When I try to push something or fast forward a branch sometimes I get following error 

commit already exists (in the project)

I searched on internet and found this link : https://git.eclipse.org/r/Documentation/error-commit-already-exists.html

I am little bit confused about the reason. 

So lets say i am fast forwarding branch_one to branch_two and branch_one has a change "A"  which is uploaded/cherry-picked on branch_two say change "B". change "A" which is merged in branch_one has same change ID as of change "B". so when i push it gerrit will find the change "B" which is not merged yet and has same change id as of change "A" and then instead of uploading a patchset gerrit will throw an error ?? is it correct??

gerrit version : 2.9.4

How do your push commands look like?

It was a simple fast forward.

git push origin HEAD:refs/heads/branch_two
