rejected merge branch which was not in remote

[Boris Gorbylev]

How to reproduce

git clone <repo>
git checkout -b my_branch master
# ... make changes in code ...
git commit -m "my changes"
git checkout master
git merge my_branch
git push origin master

--->

remote: Rejected merge commit: 0f937c5374acc06569bad6a9983ca6651adc5f66
remote: =================================
remote: Merge commits where all parents are from the same branch are not allowed.
remote: =================================

but if push local branch 'my_branch' to remote repo after commit all works fine

Same issue here. Legitimate merges from master are rejected, unless the feature branch gets pushed to remote.

My call, I don't have any issue with this "issue" - branches should be pushed to the server before they are merged in.

Update: actually not an issue - the local branch should be merged with the following command 'git rebase mybranch' - remember the intent of this plugin is to have a clean, linear history when possible.
