title: This branch is x commits ahead of xy:master
body: <p>I <a href="https://github.com/adrianmihalko/brands" rel="nofollow noreferrer">forked</a> a project on GitHub, started pushing PR's (each under different branch). Everything was good. Then I saw that my :master is X commits behind so I wanted to update to current upstream state.</p>
  
  <p>I tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git remote add upstream https://github.com/home-assistant/brands.git
  git pull upstream master
  git push --force-with-lease origin master
  </code></pre>

  <p>I get:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>This branch is 4 commits ahead of home-assistant:master.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Now each time I create new PR it adds extra commits:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/0qYMW.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/0qYMW.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>Great. I found many similar questions and answers here, but none seem to be working (fetch, reset --hard origin/master).</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to fix this, or I should delete the fork and start over?</p>
