You probably where on "my_branch" and you did a git pull ssh://git.sip-router.org/sip-router master and then git push origin my_branch:master So what you did was to merge the remote version of master into "my_branch" and then update master with my_branch version. What you should have done is to merge trie or "my_branch" into master: git fetch origin # to get up-to-date origin/ branches, including master git checkout -b master origin/master # local branch following # origin/master # now you are on branch master (local version) git merge trie git log or gitk to see if everything looks ok git push origin master:master If you already have a local master branch tracking origin/master you could do instead: git checkout master # switch to master git pull origin master # equiv. with git fetch origin; git merge master git merge trie # git log or gitk to see if everything looks ok git push origin master:master Note that some of this commands have shorter forms (if not specified some parameters take some default values and some of this values can be configured in the git config on a per branch basis, e.g. the default branch to push into or to pull form). Note2: you don't have to specify the whole reop name path (ssh://git.sip-router.org/sip-router), origin is set by default to the repo from where you cloned, so you could always use origin. To revert the commit (it's not needed since we have only a strange merge message, but the rest is ok, but it might be good practice), there are 2 possibilities: 1. you could use git revert (it will create a new commit reverting the old one): checkout the master branch: - if you don't have a local master: git fetch origin; git checkout -b master origin/master - if you already have a master tracking origin/master (created in a similar way some time ago): git checkout master # switch to master git pull origin master revert the commit git revert -m X commit_id where comit_id is the commit you want reversed (in this case 8d41196809f014e00346785b6517bd2c4051901a) and X is the merge parent number that should be the mainline (in this case I think it's 2) You could try git revert --no-commit -m 2 8d41196809f014e00346785b6517bd2c4051901a and see if it look ok (and if it does remove --no-commit and retry). After this and after making sure the log looks ok (gitk, or git log) you can git push origin master:master, or maybe git push origin master:tmp/test just to have an extra check. WARNING: do not push if it doesn't look ok (if you use the wrong -m value you might end up reverting master into your branch :-)). 2. we could revert it the hard way without leaving "commit" traces (by directly editing the master branch on sip-router.org and making it point to the previous comit). The problem with this is that if people have already checked out the current master version they will have problems updating, but since I don't expect to have more then 2 or 3 people who do this at this point we could try it as an experiment (in the future we might have to revert a commit the hard way so we might try it now when this will not cause any serious problems).
