Description Holger Staudacher CLA 2011-07-28 03:51:12 EDT 
My workflow is the following:
I work in a topic branch. After my work is done I pull changes from the remote. After this I rebase the topic branch against the local master. After the rebase I try to merge the topic branch into the master. The last step I try to do is pushing my changes. I achieve this by clicking the "Push to Upstream" context menu item in the git view.

The push works, all changes are available in my remote afterwards. But there is one ugly issue. THe push does not update the origins HEAD pointer. When I go to the command line a git status tells me: I'm on master and this master is one commit ahead of the origin master. 

To fix this I need to pull again, this updates the HEAD pointer.

So, maybe this is a configuration issue. But I believe this is a bug either in jgit or this should be configured by egit automatically.
