[Nfd-dev] Fwd: cannot push according to contribution guide

[Nick Gordon]

He hasn't set gerrit as a remote to his git repo. Generally speaking, the command is:

git remote add gerrit ssh://username@git.example.com:1234/project

In particular, if you want to contribute to NFD as nmgordon, to the named-data.net gerrit instance, which is hosted on port 29418, the 
command is:

git remote add gerrit ssh://nmgordon@gerrit.named-data.net:29418/NFD

Then, you can use:

git push gerrit HEAD:refs/for/master

I can update the documentation to include a clarifying note.
