Problem Modifying commit message using Git

[sharpdust]

Hello, I am trying to edit a commit message using git. Here is the following commands that I have done:


git commit -a -m "A message with a tpyo"
git push origin master
git commit -a --amend "A message with a typo"
git push origin master


When I do the last command, git responds back with:


To ssh://git@project/testing.git
! [rejected] master -> master (non-fast-forward)
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://git@project/testing.git'
To prevent you from losing history, non-fast-forward updates were rejected
Merge the remote changes before pushing again. See the 'non-fast-forward'
section of 'git push --help' for details.

If I try
git push --force origin master, it says:


Counting objects: 5, done.
Delta compression using up to 4 threads.
Compressing objects: 100% (2/2), done.
Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 301 bytes, done.
Total 3 (delta 1), reused 0 (delta 0)
+ refs/heads/master testing eric DENIED by fallthru
error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master
To ssh://git@desiree/testing.git
! [remote rejected] master -> master (hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://git@project/testing.git'

The only way to get around this is to
git pull origin master, but that puts the message:


Merge branch 'master' of ssh://project/testing

into the log which is not what I want.

I'm absolutely positive there have not been any changes to the repository. Any ideas on why git's complaining about this?

Nevermind, I apologize for this message, it was a git-olite configuration problem.
