Do you have "Push: --all" in your remotes file?  If so, stop right now,
and remove that.  That's pure evil.  But maybe I'm just misinterpreting
git's behavior here and it's just noting something weird about your
repository.

As far as those two errors, see:

git-fetch origin +XORG-7_1 +xorg-server-1_1_0

git-fetch; git-log origin (are they there?)
