Ok, let's see whether we can sort things out. There might be other ways to do this, but I am trying to also set you up, so that you have an easier live with HV-809.

What you want when you do a 'git remote -v' is something like that:

     my-fork	https://github.com/victor-rds/hibernate-validator.git (fetch)
     my-fork	https://github.com/victor-rds/hibernate-validator.git (push)
     origin	        https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-validator.git (fetch)
     origin	        https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-validator.git (push)

my-fork is an arbitrary name you can chose. So is origin, but the conventions is to use origin for the upstream repo (the one you want to contribute to). How to get to this:
 
    > git checkout master 
    > git remote rename origin my-fork
    > git remote add origin https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-validator.git
    # now git remote -r should look something like above
    > git remote -v
    > git fetch origin
    > git checkout HV-808
    > git rebase origin/master
    # now your commits should be a fast forward to the origin/master
    > git push my-fork HV-808
    # now you have a feature branch on GitHub from which you can create a pull request

I hope this works.
