git push -> rejected?

I'm still not that used to git, but I'm trying to use it as much as I can, and so suddenly I crashed against this:

$ git push
To git+ssh://...
! [rejected] summary -> summary (non-fast forward)
error: failed to push some refs to 'git+ssh://...'

Mh, "not-fast forward" what? am I playing a song? well, after all, I didn't do anything strange (I suppose):
  • was on master
  • branched out a feature branch
  • did some commits on master and some commits on the branch
  • rebase the branch on master
all (except rebase) from a couple of machines on the same repo.

Well, after a bit of panic, I googled and found not to worry: did another pull

$ git pull
Merge made by recursive.

then push went pretty good:

$ git push
...
To git+ssh://...
6f6324d..f39911e HEAD -> summary

    git error messages (and information messages for that matter) are horrible. That and abysmal documentation are holding me away from it.

    I really like git, but you definitely have to develop a symbiosis with it to know how things like error messages translate into the actual problems you're trying to solve.
