This makes no sense.  If push gives you this message, it most likely
means someone (possibly you) has pushed changes from another
repository.  Can you give an example sequence of commands that
reproduces the problem you have described?  That is, modify 3 files,
commit 1, push, push rejected?  Mercurial should not behave like that.

Also, it would be helpful to know which version you're using.
