I just did `git remote remove origin` and re-add the same remote origin again. However, only after that did I realized that I got myself into a situation that I don't know how to recover, because before doing `git remote remove origin`, I had:

```
$ git status 
On branch master
Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 5 commits.
  (use "git push" to publish your local commits)
nothing to commit, working tree clean

```

But now:

```
$ git status 
On branch master
nothing to commit, working tree clean

```

What should I do now? How can I make `git` know that my branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 5 commits? Thx.
