At the risk of also sounding a bit like Obvious Man, you're doing something
like "git push origin mybranch" in your shell while in your browser you're
logged in? Are you using HTTPS auth or SSH auth for your push? (You can
tell by looking at the URI printed out by "git remote -v".) 'Cos it sounds
a whole lot like git running in the shell doesn't know your auth details.
