Ok, thanks.

It did try it as the message suggested:
git push --push-option=confirm-author
and it failed because it couldn't push refs to gitrepo.

However, since you suggested it, I did:
git push freebsd --push-option=confirm-author
and that seemed to work.

Hopefully I haven't screwed anything on the git repo up,

Thanks, rick
