Problem pushing a new branch

[lenzip]

Dear Experts,
I'm having the following problem pushing a new branch to my git repo.
If I do the following:
cmsrel CMSSW_5_3_11_patch5
cd CMSSW_5_3_11_patch5/src
cmsenv
git cms-merge-topic lenzip:cmgtools-for-VBFH2l2Q-CMSSW_5_3_11_patch5
git checkout -b cmgtools-for-VBFH2l2Q-CMSSW_5_3_11_patch5_dev
git push my-cmssw cmgtools-for-VBFH2l2Q-CMSSW_5_3_11_patch5_dev

I get:

! [rejected] cmgtools-for-VBFH2l2Q-CMSSW_5_3_11_patch5_dev -> cmgtools-for-VBFH2l2Q-CMSSW_5_3_11_patch5_dev (fetch first)
error: failed to push some refs to 'git@github.com:lenzip/cmssw.git'
hint: Updates were rejected because the remote contains work that you do
hint: not have locally. This is usually caused by another repository pushing
hint: to the same ref. You may want to first merge the remote changes (e.g.,
hint: 'git pull') before pushing again.
hint: See the 'Note about fast-forwards' in 'git push --help' for details.

However I'm sure there is no more work in that branch.
Do you have any advice how to solve this problem?
Thanks
Giulio

Did you use git commit --amend? What does git show in your local area tell
you?

Hi Giulio,
thanks it is solved.
It was actually my fault, a branch with that name did exist.
Cheers
Giulio
