title: git push fails in new branch
body: <p>So I created a new branch in git by doing the following:</p>
  
  <p>git checkout -b newbranch master</p>
  
  <p>I made some changes in newbranch and committed them. git log shows my changes just fine.</p>
  
  <p>Now when I do 'git push', I just get
  'Everything up-to-date'
  even though nothing was pushed to the remote repository.</p>
  
  <p>I am on git 1.7.1</p>
  
  <p>Grateful for any help!</p>
