Description

It fails with the following error message:

error: unable to push to unqualified destination: master
The destination refspec neither matches an existing ref on the remote nor
begins with refs/, and we are unable to guess a prefix based on the source ref.
error: failed to push some refs to 'git@heroku.com:app.git'

I need to ramp up my heroku skiols a bit and figure that out, unless @gmalette or @davidcornu knows the solution?
