title: Git: new branch not getting pushed
body: <p>I created a branch, say "dev" which was based off say branch "Base" and then merged it with Upstream content (I want to keep Base clean till I am done with my testing). After resolving conflicts, I ran the command git commit -a -m "comment" and it went through. Next, I ran git push, hoping the new branch would be created on the git server and also my merged content on dev will be seen. But, when I ran git push, the command gave output "Everything up-to-date" and I do not see the new branch on the git server. Is there anything that I am missing? </p>
