The push may be trying to push exactly what you intended to push, but it
most certainly is not pushing what you are supposed to push by the rules
of submission.

Do not commit tarballs to the AUR. That is a source package, which
contains an extra copy of the PKGBUILD and .SRCINFO... but why do you
think anyone needs that? Moreover, tarballs do not compress well in
git(1), so by using tarballs you put unnecessary burden on the AUR which
will result in the size of the AUR growing much faster than it was
expected to, and becoming unwieldy.

Do *not* commit tarballs to git repositories, in the general sense! It's
almost certainly not what you want.

The AUR contains code to detect files larger than 250KB and refuse your
package with the message "maximum blob size (250.00KiB) exceeded". But
just because you can *get away* with uploading tarballs small enough to
trick our "abusive file" detector, does not mean I advocate doing so!

That's saying that in commit 93a539f81d7d0f001dd5522781ebeabf7cf73f9d
you had committed a .SRCINFO file which listed a LICENSE file, but you
did not commit the LICENSE file itself.

You've got corrupted history, adding a new commit with the LICENSE file
does not fix the old commit. Use --amend if you need to fix up old commits.

List of packages so I can perform AUR administration and remove those
*.src.tar.gz using sekrit TU powers? :p
