Chad, could you explain how to c&p the Change-ID into the message? I am not familar with messaging the push command.
Thanks a lot.


So, in that error response to you it said:  

remote: Suggestion for commit message:
[snip]
remote: Change-Id: I5563ab61e3017eaeddd30ca270b9916d64f809cb

That change-id is an acceptable unused one that you can use right
away. So copy that, then amend your commit like I suggested (git
commit -a --amend), paste the change-id in the footer. Then try
pushing like you did (that part was correct :))
