Invalid object name: 'HEAD..git@github.com'

[gre...@gmail.com]

Using magit HEAD. After trying to push my new branch to:

g...@github.com:greenrd/Coq-Equations.git

I get the error

Git exited abnormally with code 128.

in *Messages*, and

Unpulled commits:
fatal: Invalid object name 'HEAD..git@github.com'.

Unpushed commits:
fatal: Invalid object name 'g...@github.com'.

in *magit-status*, and

[branch "rebase1"]
remote = g...@github.com:greenrd/Coq-Equations.git

in my .git/config file. git is fine with this config - it pushes
correctly - but magit gets confused. I think I've seen this bug
before, but before I worked around it by simply removing the offending
line from my .git/config file.

This seem strange, this seem to work better:

[remote "github"]
url = g...@github.com:greenrd/Coq-Equations.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "rebase1"]
remote = github
merge = refs/heads/master

or something similar.

Still, someone should probably investigate.

Here the problem is not to push, it is to list commit in one, and not in
the other. Do you do this ? How ?
