title: Git remote rejecting push (failed to update ref)
body: <p>I have been working with this repository for months now. No issues whatsoever, no changes made before this started happening.</p>
  
  <p>This is a private repository stored on a remote server (That I can remote into if needed). My local project is up to date with the current branch. However, as soon as I attempt to push it fails for some unknown reason. I have checked all of the other stackoverflow questions, they are all due to not locking or bare/nonbare or something else, all of which is mentioned in the log after they push. This is a different issue.</p>

  To //APPNAME/reposit
   ! [remote rejected] master -&gt; master (failed to update ref)
  error: failed to push some refs to '//APPNAME/reposit'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm not sure if it's an issue locally or on the remote end.
  Any ideas or suggestions?</p>
