FWIW; I don't quite follow the CG's steps in pushing to staging, because I 
don't often use branches to keep my changes, I use patches.  Based on 
David's advice a long time ago, this is my sequence:

git pull
git checkout origin/staging
git am 0001-MyPatch.patch
gitk
git push origin HEAD:staging
git checkout master

Line 2 is likely to warn you you're in "detached head" status: that's fine. 
Line 3 applies your patch to this breanch.  Line 4 allows a graphical check 
of what you've just done.  Line 5 pushes it.  Line 6 takes you back to the 
master branch.

HTH.
