The bioc-git server should not have duplicate commits. I see that you have 
already pushed your change, so we will fix the repo for you. Please hold off on 
all further changes. This effectively contaminates your commit history. 

It is necessary to follow the steps we outline in the link you mentioned.

Once we fix your repo, you’ll have to make that change and commit to your 
repository again.

This is not a good idea, all the development should happen on GitHub, and then 
one maintainer for the package who has commit access to the Bioc-git server 
should push these changes upstream.

Only the maintainers of the package will have access to the server.

Please give me a day to fix your repository, and I will send you a follow up 
email.
