@ -200,16 +200,29 @@ summary::
For a successfully pushed ref, the summary shows the old and new
values of the ref in a form suitable for using as an argument to
`git log` (this is `<old>..<new>` in most cases, and
`<old>...<new>` for forced non-fast-forward updates). For a
failed update, more details are given for the failure.
The string `rejected` indicates that git did not try to send the
ref at all (typically because it is not a fast-forward). The
string `remote rejected` indicates that the remote end refused
the update; this rejection is typically caused by a hook on the
remote side. The string `remote failure` indicates that the
remote end did not report the successful update of the ref
(perhaps because of a temporary error on the remote side, a
break in the network connection, or other transient error).

rejected::
Git did not try to send the ref at all, typically because it
is not a fast-forward and you did not force the update.
remote rejected::
The remote end refused the update. Usually caused by a hook
on the remote side, or because the remote repository has one
of the following safety options in effect:
`receive.denyCurrentBranch` (for pushes to the checked out
branch), `receive.denyNonFastForwards` (for forced
non-fast-forward updates), `receive.denyDeletes` or
`receive.denyDeleteCurrent`. See linkgit:git-config[1].
remote failure::
The remote end did not report the successful update of the ref,
perhaps because of a temporary error on the remote side, a
break in the network connection, or other transient error.
