Oh, I see. I created this great patch and commited it. Then I wanted to push it, but it reported some strange error. I checked out master but now my commit is no longer there. HELP! Can I somehow push my changes to you so you can fix it? Ah let's intuitively try: git log --graph --decorate $(git rev-list -g --all) For comparisson: - mercurial would show your commit all the time, no matter what currently is checked out. - Only when you push, you have to force it, to create a new head in the remote repository because most workflows expect you to merge heads locally.
