Production servers may have local commits (hotfixes) not pushed to the remote repo. Before deploying, check git log on production vs origin to detect divergence. Found this when ai-pm had a config.py logger import fix that wasn't in Gitea. Use git pull --rebase to cleanly stack changes. Also check for unstaged changes (git stash first if needed).
