[Bioc-devel] "Duplicate commits" after when pushing change right after doing a clean `git clone git at git.bioconductor.org:packages/chimeraviz`

[Stian Lågstad]

Hi,

Could someone help me get past the duplicate commits error? I'm not sure
what to do.

These are the steps I've taken:

1. Clone the repository. `git clone git at git.bioconductor.org:packa
ges/chimeraviz`
2. Make a small change in master + attempt to push it, and got this:
```
➜  chimeraviz-bioconductor git:(master) git push

Counting objects: 4, done.
Delta compression using up to 8 threads.
Compressing objects: 100% (4/4), done.

 ! [remote rejected] master -> master (pre-receive hook declined)
```

I do see what looks like duplicate commits in the git log. For
example ba964db26ac49e86a5374e0dc3040769ae799113
and 8a49e3cdd1ce5257879d752aeead83813c6a4044, which are both from Sat Apr 8
17:45:42 2017. But I've been successful in making changes after april last
year.
