title: Using modify->reword for commit change in EGit/Eclipse and what to do next?
body: <p>I have a coworker who is working on a branch called GL104.  He made two commits and pushed those to the repository.  The newest commit is faed3fd7 on the repos.  He then realized he wanted to change his commit message, so he pulled it up in History, right-clicked on the newest commit and selected Modify->Reword.  He changed his text and this gave him a new commit ID.  He did not do a "Push Commit" or push of any kind to the server.  His "status" for the project then showed him being ahead by 2 commits.  I suggested he push his local branch up to the repos but it was rejected for non-fast-forward.  After that his status showed him being ahead by 1 commit, behind by 1 commit.  I don't understand why this is.</p>
  
  <p>Anyway, I'm trying to find this on the net as I type but not finding anything yet.  So what is the proper procedure here?  I'm guessing he has to push his reworded commit.  I'm not sure.</p>
  
  <p>We are using Eclipse Mars.1</p>
