[Tei-council] gitHelp, again

I checked out dev branch of the TEI repo, then created a new branch: | $ git status -uno | On branch dev | Your branch is up to date with 'origin/dev'. | | nothing to commit (use -u to show untracked files) | $ git checkout -b sydb_2279 | Switched to a new branch 'sydb_2279' Then I made a bunch of changes, making a few commits. Then I went to push my new branch up so y'all could play with it: | $ git status -uno | On branch sydb_2279 | nothing to commit (use -u to show untracked files) | $ git push -u | Branch 'dev' set up to track remote branch 'dev' from 'origin'. | Branch 'gender' set up to track remote branch 'gender' from 'origin'. | Everything up-to-date Huh? And the sydb_2279 branch is *not* pushed up to gitHub. What gives?
