For some random reason the git update failed over 24 hours ago. Why did it fail? Your error messages leave a lot to be desired. (They also claim that most errors will be automatically resolved, but I have yet to see this when a simple update fails for random reasons.) The remote git repo has been up and running since the failure, as we have made many commits to it. As seen here, last night around 2345 GMT -6:

Hi Vadtec,
The update failed because we receive a non-fast-forward error when trying to pull the latest commits.
Ohloh is unable to perform an update if a repository is rebased or otherwise has its HEAD commit removed. I started a clean clone and full re-analysis of this repository, which should clear up the issue.
Thanks for fixing the issue. But I am curious...why can the error not tell us what the issue was? We had to do a git reset on the repo, which apparently is when Ohloh did an update, so it missed the new commits that came after the reset. Can you not automate this process so that things get updated on their own?
