Not quite. Assuming your output of "git remote -v" looks like this:

  origin git at github.com:BjarneDMat/macports-ports.git

you can just keep on editing branch "dovecot2" and using rebase:

  git checkout dovecot2
  # ... make changes ...
  git commit
  git rebase -i HEAD~2

Replace HEAD~2 with the actual number of commits you want to
rebase. Squash commits as necessary, combining them to logical
units. Finally, use

  git push -f origin dovecot2

to force-push the branch's modifications to GitHub. Forced pushes won't
hurt if you are the only one working on that branch.
