I do not think anybody can say "It doesn't look like the tip is
behind" by looking only at the above. I am assuming that you are on
your "so-much-foo" branch, but that shows only your state. You are
not inspecting what is actually on the remote branch you are pushing
to, so...
After the failed "git push origin so-much-foo", try "git fetch
origin so-much-foo", which will make the tip of the so-much-foo
branch over there temporarily available in your FETCH_HEAD. And
then do something like:
$ git show-branch FETCH_HEAD so-much-foo
and see how they have diverged. If you want to merge your work with
the updated origin, you can do
$ git merge FETCH_HEAD
after that, or follow the hint given by the failed push, i.e.
> hint: its remote counterpart. Integrate the remote changes (e.g.
> hint: 'git pull ...') before pushing again.
and do
$ git pull origin so-much-foo
(which by the way can be done without the "git fetch origin ..."
and "git show-branch ..." steps above).
