[Bioc-devel] Cannot push to BioC git repo

Hi,

I am the maintainer of the 'msa' package which has been in Bioconductor
for eight years now. The package is hosted on github and synchronized
with the BioC git repo. Today I merged a pull request that had been
contributed by a github user. I further updated the package's
DESCRIPTION and inst/NEWS file and wanted to push the latest version to
the BioC git repo. No matter what I did, I did not succeed. The error
messages are attached below. I am not a very skilled git user. Does
anybody have an idea what I could/should do? Any help is gratefully
appreciated!

Thanks,
Ulrich
