No luck:

/home/greg/repository/blessed/lmi[0]$nano .git/description
/home/greg/repository/blessed/lmi[0]$cat .git/description

/home/greg/repository/blessed/lmi[0]$git status
# On branch master
nothing to commit (working directory clean)
/home/greg/repository/blessed/lmi[0]$git push
Everything up-to-date
/home/greg/repository/blessed/lmi[0]$

I'll ask them to take care of it because this looks unprofessional:
