Hi,

Git status tells me "Your branch is ahead of 'origin' by 108 commits.²,
but my local and origin/master are pointing to the same commit.

What am I doing wrong?

$ git diff origin/master
$ git status
On branch master
Your branch is ahead of 'origin' by 108 commits.

This line should say "ahead of 'origin/master'" in common setups, where
'origin/master' is the remote-tracking branch configured as upstream for
'master'.

My guess is that you have a badly configured upstream.

What does "git pull -v" say? What's the content of the [branch "master"]
section of .git/config?
