The starting point of this script is that the sync is one-directional. If it is not from the start, it won't work.
Seems to me you have changes on the cloned repository that are not in the source repository. This won't work.
I've written this script 5 years ago where forks were not that good in all the Git-hosting services such as GitHub, BitBucket, GitHub and the rest. I suggest that you'll use forking or other more modern sync tools instead of this script which is limited.
