Thanks!  That worked:

git push users/wschmidt 
+wschmidt/builtins:refs/users/wschmidt/heads/builtins

Regarding your other suggestion, I don't like to use -f given that I've 
noticed it will sometimes attempt to push other local branches as well.  
But it looks to be unnecessary with this method.

Much obliged!
Bill
