pushNonFastForward::
- Advice shown when linkgit:git-push[1] refuses
- non-fast-forward refs.
+ Set this variable to 'false' if you want to disable

+ pushNonFFCurrent::
+ Advice shown when linkgit:git-push[1] fails due to a
+ non-fast-forward update to the current branch.
+ pushNonFFDefault::
+ Advice to set 'push.default' to 'upstream' or 'current'
+ when you ran linkgit:git-push[1] and pushed 'matching
+ refs' by default (i.e. you did not provide an explicit
+ refspec, and no 'push.default' configuration was set)
+ and it resulted in a non-fast-forward error.
+ pushNonFFMatching::
+ Advice shown when you ran linkgit:git-push[1] and pushed
+ 'matching refs' explicitly (i.e. you used ':', or
+ specified a refspec that isn't your current branch) and
+ it resulted in a non-fast-forward error.
